"Love for Sale" by Cole Porter

When the only sound in the empty street,1

Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet2

That belong to a lonesome cop3

I open shop.4

When the moon so long has been gazing down5

On the wayward ways of this wayward town.6

That her smile becomes a smirk,7

I go to work.8

Love for sale,9

Appetising young love for sale.10

Love that's fresh and still unspoiled,11

Love that's only slightly soiled,12

Love for sale.13

Who will buy?14

Who would like to sample my supply?15

Who's prepared to pay the price,16

For a trip to paradise?17

Love for sale18

Let the poets pipe of love19

in their childish way,20

I know every type of love21

Better far than they.22

If you want the thrill of love,23

I've been through the mill of love;24

Old love, new love25

Every love but true love26

Love for sale.27

Appetising young love for sale.28

If you want to buy my wares.29

Follow me and climb the stairs30

Love for sale.31

Love for sale.
