Lyrics

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 bricklayеrs on a Saturday night The suit of glum professionals with mid-week blight The glassеs 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
