[00:00:00] The Ladies Who Lunch - Elaine Stritch

[00:00:02] Written by：Stephen Sondheim/Wally Harper/Thomas Z. Shepard

[00:00:07] I'd like to propose a toast

[00:00:17] Here's to the ladies who lunch

[00:00:24] Everybody laugh

[00:00:29] Lounging in their caftans

[00:00:32] And planning a brunch

[00:00:38] On their own behalf

[00:00:45] Off to the gym

[00:00:48] Then to a fitting

[00:00:51] Claiming they're fat

[00:00:56] And looking grim

[00:00:59] 'Cause they've been sitting

[00:01:03] Choosing a hat

[00:01:08] Does anyone still wear a hat

[00:01:16] I'll drink to that

[00:01:21] Here's to the girls who play smart

[00:01:24] Aren't they a gas

[00:01:29] Rushing to their classes

[00:01:30] In optical art

[00:01:33] Wishing it would pass

[00:01:39] Another long exhausting day

[00:01:43] Another thousand dollars

[00:01:47] A matinee a pinter play

[00:01:51] Perhaps a piece of mahler's

[00:01:54] I'll drink to that

[00:01:58] And one for mahler

[00:02:03] Here's to the girls who play wife

[00:02:06] Aren't they too much

[00:02:11] Keeping house but clutching

[00:02:12] A copy of life

[00:02:15] Just to keep in touch

[00:02:20] The ones who follow the rules

[00:02:24] And meet themselves at the schools

[00:02:27] Too busy to know that they're fools

[00:02:31] Aren't they a gem

[00:02:35] I'll drink to them

[00:02:38] Let's all drink to them

[00:02:51] And here's to the girls who just watch

[00:02:55] Aren't they the best

[00:02:59] When they get depressed

[00:03:00] It's a bottle of scotch

[00:03:03] Plus a little jest

[00:03:09] Another chance to disapprove

[00:03:12] Another brilliant zinger

[00:03:17] Another reason not to move

[00:03:21] Another vodka stinger

[00:03:23] I'll drink to that

[00:03:32] So here's to the girls on the go

[00:03:36] Everybody tries

[00:03:40] Look into their eyes

[00:03:42] And you'll see what they know

[00:03:44] Everybody dies

[00:03:48] A toast to that invincible bunch

[00:03:52] The dinosaurs surviving the crunch

[00:03:56] Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch

[00:04:00] Everybody rise

[00:04:04] Rise rise rise rise rise rise rise rise
