Charm School |
| Men made out of monkeys |
| Men made into mice |
| Happy days are here again |
| And all the drinks half price |
| A girl with a trick and a man with a calling |
| Trying to make a living out of your down falling |
| Trying to make a living out of anything at all |
| Didn’t they teach you anything except how to be cruel |
| In that charm school |
| You and I as lovers |
| Were nothing but a farce |
| Trying to make a silk purse |
| Out of a sow’s ares |
| Saying 'Why don’t you watch me' |
| Hardly speaking sotto voce |
| I’ve got a notion |
| I’ve got an angle |
| Take your dreams and promises |
| And put them through the mangle |
| They say it’s hell to finance too |
| And I just want to romance you |
| In this perpetual nightclub |
| I’ll be yours eternal |
| Though the hours are long |
| And the noise infernal |
| Just one shameful act or sometimes two |
| We make believe we are making do |
| Didn’t they teach you anything except how to be cruel |
| In that charm school |
