Just a Working Girl

A sixteen year old virgin out drinking with his mates

And a maiden with a key to the pearly gates

Signs his fake name in illegible scrawl

And a right-on type, the most ashamed of all

Just a working girl

Schemes and missed appointments

Just a working girl

Dreams and disappointments

A fishmonger who hasn't lost for a week

A graphic artist who rinses so much he squeaks

And a butcher with naughty knuckles and a potted belly

Medical students, all schoolboy chuckles and petroleum jelly

Just a working girl

Schemes and missed appointments

Just a working girl

Dreams and disappointments

The overalls of bricklayers on a Saturday night

The suit of glum professionals with mid-week blight

The glasses of computer freaks who've laid their software down

And the arses of accountants heaving up and down

Up and down

Just a working girl

Schemes and missed appointments

Just a working girl

Dreams and disappointments

A sales assistant with his petty hand in the till

The gasman is collecting just one more bill

A headmaster with a polaroid and a pleated uniform

The nightwatchman stops by quickly on his long walk home

Just a working girl

Schemes and missed appointments

Just a working girl

Dreams and disappointments

Just a working girl

Creams and dull apartments

Just a working girl

Schemes and missed appointments

Just a working girl

Dreams and disappointments

Dreams and disappointments

Dreams and disappointments
