Jethro Tull Ladies song lyrics

Ladies of leisure,

With their eyes on the back roads.

All looking for strangers,

To whom they extend welcomes

With a smile and a glimpse of

Pink knees and elbows;

Of satin and velvet

Good ladies, good fortune.

Ladies.

They sing of their heroes:

Of solitary soldiers

Invested in good health

And manner most charming.

Whose favors are numbered

(none the less well intended)

By hours in a minute;

By those ladies who bless them.

Ladies.
