[BILLY]

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!

[BILLY & ENSEMBLE]

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

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

In your mem'ry see those beautiful

In your mem'ry all those beautiful

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

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?

[GIRLS]

Slim, trim and all curvy

Sweet, shy and nervy

There is nothin' as refined as beautiful-

No Sun can shine as beautiful

[ALL]

Bring on a line of beautiful

Dames, dames, dames, dames

Dames, dames, dames, dames-

Dames!
