 B            A               B                 A  
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;  
    Asus4        E             Asus4          E  
Of satin and velvet --- good ladies, good fortune.

Ladies.     Ladies.  
 
      B               A        B           A  
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.
