Billy and 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!
