*pretty womenFascinatingSippin coffeeDancing, pretty womenPretty womenAre a wonder, pretty womenSitting in the window orStanding on the stairSomething in them cheers the airPretty womenSilhouettedStay within youGlancing stay foreverBreathing lightly, pretty women,Pretty womenBlowing out their candles orCombing out their hairEven when they leaveThey still are thereTheyre there**sipping coffeeHeres to the ladies who lunchEverybody laughLounging in their caftans andPlanning a brunchOn their own behalfOff to the gymThen to a fitting,Claiming theyre fatAnd looking grim,Cause theyve been sittingChoosing a hatIll drink to that!Heres to the girls who just watchArent they the bestWhen they get depressed,Its a bottle of scotchPlus a little jest!Another chance to disapproveAnother brilliant zingerAnother reason not to moveAnother vodka stingerIll drink to that!Heres to the girls who play wifeArent they too much!Keeping house but clutching a copy of lifeJust to keep in touchThe ones who follow the rulesAnd meet themselves at the schoolsToo busy to know that theyre foolsArent they a gem!Ill drink to them!Lets all drink to...*pretty women, fascinatingHow they make a man sing...**heres to the girls on the go,Everybody triesLook into their eyesAnd youll see what they know,Everybody diesA toast to that invincible bunchThe dinosaurs surviving the crunchLets hear it for the ladies who lunchEverybody riseEverybody rise,*pretty women at their mirrorsIn their gardensOn committees, telephoningWindow shopping table hoppingPretty women giving partiesNever stoppingGossip swapping, capsule popping** everybody rise, everybody rise,Everybody rise, everybody rise-Rise-rise-rise...Pretty women rise!
