Dames ! (repeated 11 times)

What do I care for a dame?

What do I care for a dame?

Every old dame is the same.

Every hooky dame is the same.

I got a future, a rosy future,

You can be sure I'll be tops.

I'm independent, I'm no dependent,

And I own a nightclub that's tops

I'll be in with the cops.

What do I care for the skirts?

What do I care for the skirts?

I'll make `em pay till it hurts.

Let them put up till it hurts.

I'm gonna own a nightclub,

It's gonna be the right club.

For the swell gentry, it's elementary,

I'll wear a top hat and a cape.

Let's play, shall we?

Let's play, shall we?

Their game, shall we?

I can see it plain.
