The Ladies Who Lunch Lyrics - The Essential Stephen Sondheim - Stephen Sondheim

I'd like to propose a toast. 

Here's to the ladies who lunch. 

Everybody laugh. 

Lounging in their caftans and planning a brunch. 

On their own behalf. 

Off to the gym, then to a fitting. 

Claiming they're fat and looking grim 

Cause they've been sitting choosing a hat. 

Does anyone still wear a hat? 

I'll drink to that.

And here's to the girls who play smart- 

Aren't they a gas? 

Rushing to their classes in optical art, 

Wishing it would pass. 

Another long exhausting day, 

Another thousand dollars. 

A matinee, a Pinter play, 

Perhaps a piece of Mahler's. 

I'll drink to that. 

And one for Mahler! 

And here's to the girls who play wife- 

Aren't they too much? 

Keeping house but clutching a copy of LIFE, 

Just to keep in touch. 

The ones who follow the rules, 

And meet themselves at the schools, 

Too busy to know that they're fools, 

Aren't they a gem? 

I'll drink to them. 

Let's all drink to them.

And here's to the girls who just watch- 

Aren't they the best? 

When they get depressed 

It's a bottle of scotch, 

Plus a little jest. 

Another chance to disapprove 

Another brilliant singer. 

Another reason not to move 

Another vodka stinger. 

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh! 

I'll drink to that. 

So here's to the girls on the go- 

Everybody tries. 

Look into their eyes and you'll see what they know. 

Everybody dies. 

A toast to that invincible bunch. 

The dinosaur surviving the crunch. 

Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch- 

Everybody rise! 

Rise! 

Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! Rise! 

Rise!
