Women lyrics
by Original Broadway Cast of Lempicka
[SUZY, spoken]
Look at these divine creatures! Exquisite! No need to hide your light or your love, not in here. There's no need to be afraid; all the right people have been paid, leaving us free to enjoy the best Paris has to offer: Liberté!
[ENSEMBLE]
Liberté!
[SUZY]
Égalité!
[ENSEMBLE]
Égalité!
[SUZY]
Lesbianité!
(sung)
Who says chivalry is dead?
It's here
With all the women
Broad-shouldered women
Opening doors, pulling out chairs so charmingly arrayed
Strong, silent types who wear pinstripes
The scent of leather, ah, and pomade
Pinch me, girls, I've got it made
Women
(spoken)
No, darling, you're the top!
[SUZY, sung, ENSEMBLE]
Women (Women)
Elegant women (Women)
Laughing coy, tossing their hair
A satin-doll parade
Willowy girls with ropes of pearls
The scent of jasmine, I'm afraid
We're the ones who've got it made
Women
[FEMALE VOICES, MALE VOICES]
Suzy, you've made an oasis
We lived through the days 'til we can be here
Where everything and nothing is queer
No fear (No fear) in here (In here)
[ENSEMBLE]
It's our time
[SUZY, ENSEMBLE]
Women (Suzy, you've made an oasis)
Broad-shouldered women (We lived through the days)
The tailored pants, and in them, something custom-made
My God, blue serge gives me an urge
The scent of salt, sweat, ah, and pomade
Somehow my virtue’s been mislaid
(Oh Lord) Oh Lord, my nerves are getting frayed (My nerves are getting frayed)
I can't keep up this mad charade, my heart's been swayed (My heart's been swayed, my heart's been swayed)
(Mama) Mama, your little girl has strayed
For women (Women, elegant women)
[SUZY & ENSEMBLE]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Women
