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.
