Melissa Manchester - For The Working Girl Lyrics
I work in the chorus doing three shows a night
Wearing fishnets and feathers under blinding white lights
I've served shorts to hard hats who had booze on their lips
Been fondled and leered at for an occasional tip
And it don't get no better, but it can't get no worse
From Detroit to Des Moines it's the same ugly scene
I'm a cog, you're a wheel
He's a king, she's a queen
From the smokestacks to the meat racks
When you're eyelined and curled
There's a lot to be said for the working girl
Sweating for sweet water just to run through your hands
Six kids in Cleveland for one wedding band
A nest egg's a daydream that never gets laid
And it don't get no brighter, but it's clearer to see
There ain't no working girls like the ones on T.V.
From Detroit to Des Moines it's the same ugly scene
I'm a cog, you're a wheel
He's a king, she's a queen
From the smokestacks to the meat racks
When you're eyelined and curled
There's a lot to be said for the working girl
