The Ladies Who Lunch

[00:07.63] I'd like to propose a toas

[00:16.63] Here's to the ladies who lunch

[00:22.38] Everybody laugh

[00:29.13] Lounging in their caftans and planning a brunch

[00:37.38] On their own behalf

[00:44.88] Off to the gym, then to a fitting

[00:50.63] Claiming they're fat

[00:55.88] And looking grim 'cause they've been sitting

[01:02.38] Choosing a hat

[01:07.88] Does anyone still wear a hat?

[01:15.88] I'll drink to that

[01:21.13] Here's to the girls who play smart

[01:24.38] Aren't they a gas?

[01:28.63] Rushing to their classes in optical art

[01:32.88] Wishing it would pass

[01:38.38] Another long exhausting day

[01:42.63] Another thousand dollars

[01:46.88] A matinee, a Pinter play

[01:50.88] Perhaps a piece of Mahler's

[01:53.88] I'll drink to that

[01:58.13] And one for Mahler

[02:03.13] Here's to the girls who play wife

[02:06.38] Aren't they too much?

[02:10.38] Keeping house but clutching a copy of life

[02:14.63] Just to keep in touch

[02:19.63] The ones who follow the rules

[02:23.63] And meet themselves at the schools

[02:27.63] Too busy to know that they're fools

[02:30.88] Aren't they a gem?

[02:34.88] I'll drink to them

[02:37.88] Let's all drink to them

[02:51.13] And here's to the girls who just watch

[02:54.63] Aren't they the best?

[02:58.88] When they get depressed, it's a bottle of Scotch

[03:02.88] Plus a little jest

[03:08.38] Another chance to disapprove

[03:12.63] Another brilliant zinger

[03:16.63] Another reason not to move

[03:20.63] Another vodka stinger

[03:23.38] Ah

[03:27.63] I'll drink to that

[03:32.13] So here's to the girls on the go

[03:35.63] Everybody tries

[03:39.63] Look into their eyes and you'll see what they know

[03:43.63] Everybody dies

[03:48.38] A toast to that invincible bunch

[03:52.38] The dinosaurs surviving the crunch

[03:56.38] Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch

[03:59.63] Everybody rise, rise

[04:08.16] Rise, rise

[04:12.16] Rise, rise

[04:15.91] Rise, rise

[04:19.91] Rise
