42nd Street - Dames Lyrics

2017 West End revival
42nd Street the Musical - Dames Lyrics

Music by Harry Warren, Lyrics by Al Dubin and Johnny Mercer.

BILLY & ENSEMBLE:
Who writes the words and music
For all the girly shows?
No one cares, and no one knows.
Who is the handsome hero
Some villain always frames?
But who cares if there's a plot or not,
When they've got a lot of dames!

What do you go for,
Go see a show for?
Tell the truth
You go to see those beautiful dames.
You spend your dough for
Bouquets that grow for
All those cute and cunning,
Young and beautiful dames.
Oh! Dames are temporary flames to you.
Dames, you don't recall their names,
Do you?

But their caresses
And home addresses,
Linger in your mem'ry of those beautiful dames.

What do you go for,
Go see a show for?
Tell the truth
You go to see those beautiful dames.
You spend your dough for
Bouquets that grow for
All those cute and cunning,
Young and beautiful dames.
Oh! Dames are temporary flames to you.
Dames, you don't recall their names,
Do you?

What do you go for,
Go see a show for?
Tell the truth
You go to see those beautiful dames.
You spend your dough for
Bouquets that grow for
All those cute and cunning,
Young and beautiful dames.
Those gorgeous dames
Are temporary flames to you.
Dames, you don't recall their names,
Do you?

Slims and all curvy,
Sweet, shy and nervy,
There is nothin' as refined as beautiful-
No sun can shine as beautiful
Bring on a line of beautiful
Dames, dames, dames, dames,
Dames, dames, dames, dames-
Dames!
