[00:41.000]Ladies of leisure, with their eyes on the back roads ---
[00:51.000]All looking for strangers, to whom they extend welcomes
[01:01.000]With a smile and a glimpse of pink knees and elbows;
[01:11.000]Of satin and velvet --- good ladies, good fortune.
[01:24.000]Ladies.
[01:47.000]They sing of their heroes: of solitary soldiers
[01:58.000]Invested in good health and manner most charming.
[02:08.000]Whose favors are numbered (none the less well intended)
[02:19.000]By hours in a minute; by those ladies who bless them.
[02:32.000]Ladies.
