8 7 8 7 8 <-7 -7 7 7
I smell women, smell them in the air
8 <-7 -7 7 8 <-7 -7 7 8 <-7 -7 7 7
Think I’ll drop my anchor in that harbor over there
8 <-5 8 <-5 8 <-7 <7 -6 <-5
Lovely ladies, smell them through the smoke
8 <-7 <7 7 8 <-7 <7 7 8 <-7 <7 -6 <-5
Seven days at sea can make you hungry for a poke
8 <8 8 <8 8 <8 8 <8 8
Even stokers need a little stoke
8 7 8 7 8 <-7 -7 7 7
Lovely ladies, waiting for a bite
8 <-7 -7 7 8 <-7 -7 7 8 <-7 -7 7 7
Waiting for the customers who only come at night
8 <-5 8 <-5 8 <-7 <7 -6 <-5
Lovely ladies, ready for the call
8 <-7 <7 7 8 <-7 <7 7 8 <-7 <7 -6 <-5
Standing up or lying down or any way at all
8 <8 8 <8 8 <8 8 <8 8
Bargain prices up against the wall
6 <-7 6 <7 6 <-7 6 <7 7 -6 6
Come here, my dear, let’s see this trinket you wear
6 <-7 6 <7
This bagatelle
6 <-7 6 <7 7 -6 6
Madame, I’ll sell it to you
7 -9 7 <8
I’ll give you four
7 -9 7 <8 8 <-7 -7
That wouldn’t pay for the chain
6 <-7 6 <7 6 <-7 6 <7 7 -6 6
I’ll give you five, you’re far too eager to sell
<7 7 -6 6
It’s up to you
<8 8 <-7 -7
It’s all I have
<7 7 -6 6
That’s not my fault
<8 8 <-7 -7
Please make it ten
<8 8 <-7 -7 <8 8 <-7 -7 <8 8 <-7 -7
No more than five, my dear, we all must stay alive
8 7 8 7 8 <-7 -7 7 7
Lovely ladies, waiting in the dark
8 <-7 -7 7 8 <-7 -7 7 8 <-7 -7 7 7
Ready for a thick one or a quick one in the park
8 <-5 8 <-5 8 <-7 <7 -6 <-5
Long time, short time, any time, my dear
8 <-7 <7 7 8 <-7 <7 7 8 <-7 -7 -6 <-5
Cost a little extra if you want to take all year
8 <8 8 <8 8 <8 8 <8 8
Quick and cheap is underneath the pier
6 <-7 6 <7 6 <-7 6 -7 7 -6 6
What pretty hair, what pretty locks you’ve got there
6 <-7 6 <7 6 <-7 6 -7 7 -6 6
What luck you’ve got, it’s worth a centime my dear
7 -9 7 <8
I’ll take the lot
7 -9 7 <8 8 <-7 -7
Don’t touch me, leave me alone
6 <-7 6 <7 6 <-7 6 -7 7 -6 6
Let’s make a price, I’ll give you all of ten francs
<7 7 -6 6
Just think of that
<8 8 <-7 -7
It pays a debt
<7 7 -6 6
Just think of that
<8 8 <-7 -7 <8 8 <-7 -7
What can I do, it pays a debt
<8 8 <-7 -7 <8 8 <-7 -7
Ten francs may save my poor Cosette
8 8 8 8 -9 8 <-7 -7 -7
God, I’m weary, sick enough to drop
8 8 8 8 8 8 8 8 -9 8 <-7 -7 7
Belly burns like fire, will the bleeding ever stop
<-9 <-9 <-9 <-9 <10 <-9 <8 8 <-7
Cheer up, dearie, show a happy face
<-9 <-9 <-9 <-9 <-9 <-9 <-9 <-9 <10 <-9 <9 8 <-7
Plenty more like you, dear, if you can’t keep up the pace
8 <8 8 <8 8 <8 8 <8 8
Only joking, dearie knows her place
 6 -7 6 7 6 6 6 -7 6 7
Give me the dirt, who’s that bit over there
6 -7 6 7 6 6 6 -7 6 7
A bit of skirt, she’s the one sold her hair
-6 -8 -6 -7 -6 -6 -6 -8 -6 -7
She’s got a kid, sends her all that she can
-6 -8 -6 -7 -6 -6 -6 -8 -6 -7
I might have known there is always some man
-8 -6 -8 -6 -8 -6 -8 -6 -8 -6 -8 -6 -8 -6
Lovely lady, come along and join us, lovely lady
-10 -10 -10 -10 -10 11 -10 -10
Come on, dearie, why all the fuss
10 10 10 10 10 10 -10 10 10
You’re no grander than the rest of us
<-9 <-9 <-9 <-9 <-9 <-9 <10 <-9 <-9 <-9 <-9
Life has dropped you at the bottom of the heap
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9 <-9 -9 -9 -9 -9
Join your sisters, make money in your sleep
<9 <9 <9 <9 <9 <9 <-9 <9 <9
That’s right, dearie, let him have the lot
9 9 9 9 9 9 <9 9 9
That’s right, dearie, show him what you’ve got
8 7 8 7 8 <-7 -7 7 7
Old men, young men, take them as they come
8 <-7 -7 7 8 <-7 -7 7 8 <-7 -7 7 7
Harbor rats and alley cats and every kind of scum
8 <-5 8 <-5 8 <-7 <7 -6 6
Poor men, rich men, leaders of the land
8 <-7 <7 7 8 <-7 <7
See them with their trousers off
7 8 <-7 <7 -6 <-5
They’re never quite as grand
8 <8 8 <8 8 <8 8 <8 8
All it takes is money in your hand
8 7 8 7 8 <-7 -7 7 7
Lovely ladies, going for a song
8 <-7 -7 7 8 <-7 -7 7 8 <-7 -7 7 7
Got a lot of callers but they never stay for long
-7 6 -7 6 -7 7 <-6 6 6
Come on, Captain, you can wear your shoes
-7 7 <-6 6 -7 7 <-6 6 -7 7 <-6 6 6
Don’t it make a change to have a girl who can’t refuse
-7 5 -7 5 -7 7 -6 -5 5
Easy money, lying on a bed
-7 7 -6 6 -7 7 -6 6 -7 7 -6 -5 5
Just as well they never see the hate that’s in your head
-7 <-7 -7 <-7 -7 <-7 -7 <-7 -7 <-7 -7 <-7 -7
Don’t they know they’re making love to one already dead
