Ladies of leisure, with their eyes on the back roads -
    Asus4            E               Asus4        E
All looking for strangers, to whom they extend welcomes
         B                 A  B                B
With a smile and a glimpse of pink knees and elbows;

Of satin and velvet - good ladies, good fortune.
F     E F     E
Ladies. Ladies.

They sing of their heroes: of solitary soldiers
  Asus4          E            Asus4         E
Invested in good health and manner most charming.
      B             A               B              A
Whose favors are numbered (none the less well intended)
   Asus4        E              Asus4              E
By hours in a minute; by those ladies who bless them.
F     E
Ladies.
