42nd Street Soundtrack Dames Lyrics

Dames Lyrics

Billy and Ensemble:

 Who writes the words and music 

 For all the girly shows? 

 No one cares, and no one knows. 

 Who is the handsome hero

 Some villain always frames?

 But who cares if there's a plot or not,

 When they've got a lot of dames!

 

 What do you go for, 

 Go see a show for? 

 Tell the truth 

 You go to see those beautiful dames.

 You spend your dough for

 Bouquets that grow for 

 All those cute and cunning, 

 Young and beautiful dames.

 Oh! Dames are temporary flames to you.

 Dames, you don't recall their names,

 Do you? 

 

 But their caresses 

 And home addresses,

 Linger in your mem'ry of those beautiful dames.

 

 What do you go for, 

 Go see a show for? 

 Tell the truth 

 You go to see those beautiful dames.

 You spend your dough for

 Bouquets that grow for 

 All those cute and cunning, 

 Young and beautiful dames.

 Oh! Dames are temporary flames to you.

 Dames, you don't recall their names,

 Do you? 

 

 What do you go for, 

 Go see a show for? 

 Tell the truth 

 You go to see those beautiful dames.

 You spend your dough for

 Bouquets that grow for 

 All those cute and cunning, 

 Young and beautiful dames.

 Those gorgeous dames 

 Are temporary flames to you.

 Dames, you don't recall their names,

 Do you? 

 

 Slims and all curvy, 

 Sweet, shy and nervy,

 There is nothin' as refined as beautiful-

 No sun can shine as beautiful

 Bring on a line of beautiful

 Dames, dames, dames, dames, 

 Dames, dames, dames, dames-

 Dames!
