Utterson has convinced Jekyll to go to the Red Rat, a brothel in London’s East End, for his bachelor party. After a quick conversation in the music hall, Lucy Harris, the Red Rat’s latest musical attraction, performs this song with the rest of the prostitutes.
[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!
Bring on the Men was written by Leslie Bricusse.
Frank Wildhorn released Bring on the Men on Tue Jan 24 1995.
Frustrated, Jekyll goes to the seedier part of town for a drink and finds a bar called “The Red Rat” (“The Dregs” in other versions). There, he is entranced by the performance of Lucy, a prostitute.
Despite “Bring on the Men” being a very popular song among fans, it was cut from the Broadway version by director Robin Phillips. It has since been put back into later versions due to its popularity.
