letra de every day is ladies' day with me - victor herbert

(verse 1)
i should like, without undue reiteration of the ego
to explain how very hard i find it is to make my pay go
’round among my vulgar creditors i’m fearfully in debt
for i always have afforded anything that i could get

but i must say i’ve enjoyed the best of what there is in life
i’ve been lucky in my love affairs, i’ve never had a wife
i can summon little interest in the dry affairs of state
and the businessmen who call on me are coldly left to wait
(chorus)
for every day is ladies’ day with me
i’m quite at their disposal all the while
and my pleasure is double
if they come to me in trouble
for i always find a way to make them smile
the little darlings

i’ve no doubt i should have married long ago
it’s the proper thing to do, you’ll all agree
but i never could find any fun
in wasting all my time on one
so every day is ladies’ day with me

(verse 2)
it’s a frightful thing to ask of all the hearts that i have broken
although each one fell in love with me without the slightest token
that my fatal gift of beauty had inflamed her little heart
but i found that some small favor always seemed to ease the smart

a position for a cousin or a loan to dear papa
just a dainty diamond necklace or a pretty motor car
but i don’t begrudge the collarets and necklaces or pearls
all the money that i ever saved is what i’ve spent on girls

(chorus)
for every day is ladies’ day with me
i’m quite at their disposal all the while
and my pleasure is double
if they come to me in trouble
for i always find a way to make them smile
the little darlings
i’ve no doubt i should have married long ago
it’s the proper thing to do, you’ll all agree
but i never could find any fun
in wasting all my time on one
so every day is ladies’ day with me
