《The Ladies Who Lunch》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ladies Who Lunch - Stephen Sondheim

[00:00:13] Here's to the ladies who lunch

[00:00:18] Everybody laugh.

[00:00:24] Lounging in their caftans

[00:00:26] And planning a brunch

[00:00:29] On their own behalf.

[00:00:37] Off to the gym,

[00:00:39] Then to a fitting,

[00:00:42] Claiming they're fat.

[00:00:47] And looking grim,

[00:00:49] 'Cause they've been sitting

[00:00:52] Choosing a hat.

[00:00:56] Does anyone still wear a hat?

[00:01:04] I'll drink to that.

[00:01:08] Here's to the girls who stays smart

[00:01:11] Aren't they a gas?

[00:01:15] Rushing to their classes

[00:01:17] In optical art,

[00:01:19] Wishing it would pass.

[00:01:24] Another long exhausting day,

[00:01:28] Another thousand dollars,

[00:01:32] A matinee, a Pinter play,

[00:01:36] Perhaps a piece of Mahler's.

[00:01:38] I'll drink to that.

[00:01:42] And one for Mahler!

[00:01:47] Here's to the girls who play wife

[00:01:50] Aren't they too much?

[00:01:53] Keeping house but clutching

[00:01:54] A copy of LIFE,

[00:01:57] Just to keep in touch.

[00:02:01] The ones who follow the rules,

[00:02:05] And meet themselves at the schools,

[00:02:09] Too busy to know that they're fools.

[00:02:12] Aren't they a gem?

[00:02:16] I'll drink to them!

[00:02:19] Let's all drink to them!

[00:02:36] And here's to the girls who just watch--

[00:02:39] Aren't they the best?

[00:02:43] When they get depressed,

[00:02:44] It's a bottle of Scotch,

[00:02:47] Plus a little jest.

[00:02:52] Another chance to disapprove,

[00:02:56] Another brilliant zinger,

[00:02:59] Another reason not to move,

[00:03:03] Another vodka stinger.

[00:03:06] I'll drink to that.

[00:03:14] So here's to the girls on the go--

[00:03:17] Everybody tries.

[00:03:21] Look into their eyes,

[00:03:22] And you'll see what they know:

[00:03:25] Everybody dies.

[00:03:29] A toast to that invincible bunch,

[00:03:33] The dinosaurs surviving the crunch.

[00:03:36] Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch--

[00:03:39] Everybody rise!

[00:03:44] Rise!

[00:03:47] Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise!
