• Lovely Ladies

Sailors
I smell women
Smell 'em in the air
Think I'll drop my anchor
In that harbor over there
Lovely ladies
Smell 'em through the smoke
Seven days at sea
Can make you hungry for a poke
Even stokers need a little stoke!

Whores
Lovely ladies
Waiting for a bite
Waiting for the customer
Who only comes at night
Lovely ladies
Waiting for the call
Standing up or lying down
Or any way at all
Bargain prices up against the wall

Old Woman
Come here, my dear
Let's see this trinket you wear
This bagatelle

Fantine
Madame, I'll sell it to you

Old Woman
I'll give you four

Fantine
That wouldn't pay for the chain

Old Woman
I'll give you five, you're far to eager to sell, it's up to you

Fantine
It's all I have

Old Woman
That's not my fault

Fantine
Please make it ten

Old Woman
No more than five
My dear, we all must stay alive!

Whores
Lovely ladies
Waiting in the dark
Ready for a thick one
Or a quick one in the park
Long time short time
Any time, my dear
Cost a little extra if you want to take all year!
Quick and cheap is underneath the pier!

Crone
What pretty hair
What pretty locks you got there
What luck you got, it's worth a centime my dear
I'll take the lot

Fantine
Don't touch me leave me alone

Crone
Let's make a price, I'll give you all of ten francs
Just think of that!

Fantine
It pays a debt

Crone
Just think of that

Fantine
What can I do? It pays a debt
Ten francs may save my poor Cosette!

Sailors Whores
Lovely lady! Lovely ladies
Fastest on the street Lovely little girls
Wasn't there three minutes Lovely ladies
She was back up on her feet Lovely little ladies
Lovely lady! Lovely girlies
What yer waiting for? Lovely little girls
Doesn't take a lot of savvy We are lovely, lovely girls
Just to be a whore Lovely ladies
Come on, lady What's a lady for?
What's a lady for?

[Fantine re-emerges, her long hair cut short]

Pimp
Give me the dirt, who's that bit over there?

Whore 1
A bit of skirt, she's the one sold her hair

Whore 2
She's got a kid sends her all that she can

Pimp
I might have known
There is always some man
Lovely lady, come along and join us!
Lovely lady!

Whores
Come on dearie, why all the fuss?
You're no grander than the rest of us
Life has dropped you at the bottom of the heap
Join your sisters, make money in your sleep!

[Fantine goes off with one of the sailors]

That's right dearie, let him have the lot
That's right dearie, show him what you've got!

Old men, young men, take 'em as they come
Harbor rats and alley cats and every type of scum
Poor men, rich men, leaders of the land
See them with their trousers off they're never quite as grand
All it takes is money in your hand!
Lovely ladies
Going for a song
Got a lot of callers
But they never stay for long

Fantine
Come on, Captain
You can wear your shoes
Don't it make a change
To have a girl who can't refuse
Easy money
Lying on a bed
Just as well they never see
The shame that's in your head
Don't they know they're making love
To one already dead!
