Just A Working Girl

( Moonshake )

A sixteen year-old virgin out drinking with his mates

A layman, with the 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 misses appointments

Just a working girl - dreams and disappointments

A fishmonger who hasn't washed for a week

A graphic artist who rinses so much he squeaks

A butcher with knotted muscles and a potted belly

Medical students, alls schoolboy chuckles and petroleum jelly

The overalls of bricklayers on a Saturday night

The suits of glum professionals with midweek blight

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

And the arses of accountants heaving up and down, up and down

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
