For The Working Girl

For The Working Girl

I work in the chorus doing three shows a night Wearing fishnets and feathers under blinding white lights I've sold shorts to hardhats who've had booze on their lips Been fondled and leered at for an occasional tip And it don't get no better, but can't get no worse For the working girl's world is the size of her purse From Detroit to Des Moines, it's the same ugly scene I'm a cog, you're a wheel He's a king, she's a queen From the smokestacks to the meat racks Where you're eyelined and curled There's a lot to be said for the working girl Sweating for sweet water just to run through your hands Six kids in Cleveland for one wedding band Tied up to a mail room for the minimum wage A nest egg's a daydream that never gets laid And it don't get no brighter, but it's clearer to see There aren't no working girls like the ones on TV From Detroit to Des Moines, it's the same ugly scene I'm a cog, you're a wheel He's a king, she's a queen From the smokestacks to the meat racks Where you're eyelined and curled There's a lot to be said for the working girl There's a lot to be said for the working girl
