Dick Powell - Dames

Who writes the words and music
For all the girlie shows
No one cares and no one knows
Who is the handsome hero
Some villain always frames
But who cares if there's a plot or not
When they've got a lot of dames

What do you go for
Go see a show for
Tell the truth, you go to see those beautiful dames
You spend your dough for
Bouquets that grow for
All those cute and cunning, young and beautiful dames
Oh, dames are temporary flames to you
Dames, you can't recall their names, do you
But their caresses
And home adresses
Linger in your mem'ry of those beautiful dames Who are the great producers
For all the big revues
Who's concerned about that news
Who gets them interested
Wins all the big acclaims
You have it right, it's that thrilling sight of
delightful, gorgeous dames

What do you go for
Go see a show for
Tell the truth, you go to see those beautiful dames
You spend your dough for
Bouquets that grow for
All those cute and cunning, young and beautiful dames
Oh, dames are temporary flames to you
Dames, you can't recall their names, do you
But their caresses
And home adresses
Linger in your mem'ry of those beautiful dames
