Bring on the Men Lyrics

[LUCY (with prostitutes in background)]
There was a time, I don't know when
I didn't have much time for men
But this is now and that was then, I'm learning

A girl alone, all on her own
Must try to have a heart of stone
So I try not to make it known, my yearning

I try to show I have no need
I really do - I don't succeed

So let's bring on the men
And let the fun begin!
A little touch of sin
Why wait another minute?

Step this way, it's time for us to play!
They say we may not pass this way again
So let's waste no more time;
Bring on the men!

I always knew, I always said
That silk and lace in black and red
Will drive a man right off his head, it's easy

So many men, so little time
I want them all, is that a crime?

[MEN]
No!

[LUCY]
I don't know why they say that I'm too easy

They make me laugh, they make me cry
They make me sick, so God knows why

We say, "Bring on the men
And let the fun begin!"
A little touch of sin
Why wait another minute?

Step this way, it's time for us to play
They say we may not pass this way again
So let's waste no more time;
Bring on the men!

They break your heart
They steal your soul
Take you apart
And yet they somehow make you whole!

So what's the game?
I suppose a rose by any other name
The perfume and the prick's the same

(interlude with prostitutes teasing johns)

[LUCY]
I like to have a man for breakfast each day
I'm very social and I like it that way
By late mid-morning I need something to munch
So I ask over two men for lunch

And men are mad about my afternoon teas
They're quite informal, I just do it to please
Those triple sandwiches are my favorite ones
I'm also very partial to buns!

My healthy appetite gets strongest at night
My at-home dinners are my men-friends' delight
When I invite the fellas over to dine
They all come early, in bed by nine!

[LUCY and PROSTITUTES]
So let's bring on the men
And let the fun begin!
A little touch of sin
Why wait another minute?

Step this way, it's time for us to play!

[LUCY]
They say we may not pass this way again
So let's waste no more time...
Bring on the men!

[PROSTITUTE ENSEMBLE]
Big men, small men
Short men, tall men
I guess that means almost all men!
I'm a player, long as they are men, men, men!
