| Late night hustle goin' down in the city
|
| A one-way street on the wrong side of town
|
| Young and foolish man don’t you know?
|
| All we could see were
|
| Ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line
|
| Ladies in the night, workin' overtime
|
| Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle
|
| Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles
|
| Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls
|
| We worked out a deal with some chicks on the corner
|
| Back at the room it was never to be
|
| No-one had money, and the girls got so uptight
|
| Ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line
|
| Ladies in the night, workin' overtime
|
| Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle
|
| Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles
|
| Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls, so tough
|
| Baby, I know, it’s just what I see
|
| Baby, I know, it’s not what I need
|
| Big city, big city girls, yeah!
|
| The next thing you know, things got rough, babe
|
| They carved out a warnin' with a switch-blade-knife
|
| The message was clear, if you wanna play, you gotta pay
|
| For ladies in the night, walkin' a straight line
|
| Ladies in the night, workin' overtime
|
| Ladies in the night, doin' the hustle
|
| Ladies in the night, flexin' their muscles
|
| Ladies in the night, big city, big city girls! |
