Men made out of monkeys
Men made into mice
Happy days are here again
All the drinks half price

A girl with a trick and a man with a calling

Trying to make a living out of your downfalling
Trying to make a living out of anything at all
Didn´t they teach you anything except how to be cruel
In that charm school

You and I as lovers were nothing but a farce
Trying to make a silk purse out of a sow´s arse
Saying "Why don´t you watch me"
Hardly speaking sotto voce

Trying to make a living out of your downfalling
Trying to make a living out of anything at all
Didn´t they teach you anything except how to be cruel

In that charm school

I´ve got a notion
I´ve got an angle
Take your dreams and promises
And put them through the mangle
They say it´s hell to finance too
And I just want to romance you

In this perpetual nightclub
I´ll be yours eternal
Though the hours are long
And the noise infernal
Just one shameful act or sometimes two
We make believe we are making do

Trying to make a living out of your downfalling
Trying to make a living out of anything at all
Didn´t they teach you anything except how to be cruel
In that charm school

Didn´t they teach you anything except how to be cruel
In that charm school
In that charm school
