The Ladies Who Lunch |
| Here’s to the ladies who lunch |
| Everybody laugh |
| Lounging in their caftans |
| And planning a brunch |
| On their own behalf |
| Off to the gym |
| Then to a fitting |
| Claiming they’re fat |
| And looking grim |
| 'Cause they’ve been sitting |
| Choosing a hat |
| Does anyone still wear a hat? |
| I’ll drink to that |
| And here’s to the girls who play smart |
| Aren’t they a gas? |
| Rushing to their classes |
| In optical art |
| Wishing it would pass |
| Another long exhausting day |
| Another thousand dollars |
| A matinee, a Pinter play |
| Perhaps a piece of Mahler’s |
| I’ll drink to that |
| And one for Mahler! |
| And here’s to the girls who play wife |
| Aren’t they too much? |
| Keeping house but clutching |
| A copy of Life |
| Just to keep in touch |
| The ones who follow the rules |
| And meet themselves at the schools |
| Too busy to know that they’re fools |
| Aren’t they a gem? |
| I’ll drink to them! |
| Let’s all drink to them! |
| And here’s to the girls who just watch |
| Aren’t they the best? |
| When they get depressed |
| It’s a bottle of Scotch |
| Plus a little jest |
| Another chance to disapprove |
| Another brilliant zinger |
| Another reason not to move |
| Another vodka stinger |
| Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh! |
| I’ll drink to that |
| So here’s to the girls on the go |
| Everybody tries |
| Look into their eyes |
| And you’ll see what they know: |
| Everybody dies |
| A toast to that invincible bunch |
| The dinosaurs surviving the crunch |
| Let’s hear it for the ladies who lunch |
| Everybody rise! |
| Rise! |
| Rise! |
| Rise! |
| Rise! |
| Rise! |
| Rise! |
| Rise! |
| Rise! |
| Rise! |
