Late night hustle goin' down in the city
A one-way street on the wrong side of town
Young and foolish man don't you know?
All we could see were
Ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line
Ladies in the night, workin' overtime
Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle
Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles
Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls
We worked out a deal with some chicks on the corner
Back at the room it was never to be
No-one had money, and the girls got so uptight
Ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line
Ladies in the night, workin' overtime
Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle
Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles
Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls, so tough
[Guitar Solos: Brian Greenway, Gary Moffat]
Baby, I know, it's just what I see
Baby, I know, it's not what I need
Big city, big city girls, yeah!
The next thing you know, things got rough, babe
They carved out a warnin' with a switch-blade-knife
The message was clear, if you wanna play, you gotta pay
For ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line
Ladies in the night, workin' overtime
Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle
Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles
Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls!
