Here's to the ladies who lunch

Everybody laugh

Lounging in their caftans

And planning a brunch

On their own behalf

Off to the gym

Then to a fitting

Claiming they're fat

And looking grim

'Cause they've been sitting

Choosing a hat

Does anyone still wear a hat

I'll drink to that

Here's to the girls who stays smart

Aren't they a gas

Rushing to their classes

In optical art

Wishing it would pass

Another long exhausting day

Another thousand dollars

A matinee a Pinter play

Perhaps a piece of Mahler's

I'll drink to that

And one for Mahler

Here's to the girls who play wife

Aren't they too much

Keeping house but clutching

A copy of LIFE

Just to keep in touch

The ones who follow the rules

And meet themselves at the schools

Too busy to know that they're fools

Aren't they a gem

I'll drink to them

Let's all drink to them

And here's to the girls who just watch--

Aren't they the best

When they get depressed

It's a bottle of Scotch

Plus a little jest

Another chance to disapprove

Another brilliant zinger

Another reason not to move

Another vodka stinger

I'll drink to that

So here's to the girls on the go--

Everybody tries

Look into their eyes

And you'll see what they know:

Everybody dies

A toast to that invincible bunch

The dinosaurs surviving the crunch

Let's hear it for the ladies who lunch--

Everybody rise

Rise

Rise Rise Rise Rise Rise Rise Rise
