Men made out of monkeys
  Men made into mice
  Happy days are here again
  And all the drinks half price
  A girl with a trick and a man with a calling
  Trying to make a living out of your downfalling
  TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING out of anything at all
  Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel
  In that charm school
  
  You and I as lovers
  Were nothing but a farce
  TRYING TO MAKE A SILK PURSE
  OUT OF A SOW'S ARSE
  Saying 'Why don't you watch me'
  Hardly speaking SOTTO VOCE
  
  I've got a notion
  I've got an angle
  Take your dreams and promises
  And put them through the mangle
  They say it's hell to finance too
  And I just want to romance you
  
  In this perpetual nightclub
  I'll be yours eternal
  Though the hours are long
  And the noise infernal
  JUST ONE SHAMEFUL ACT OR SOMETIMES TWO
  WE MAKE BELIEVE WE'RE MAKING DO
