Hey there! - You better get up now, and clean up your place
   Can't you see there are ships in the harbour?
   Put on your best face, and turn on your lights
   And spray some perfume in your parlour
   But don't lose your head, just keep to your trade
   Treat him with love, but only after he's paid
   For living is dear, and so much shorter each year
   So make the most of it while you're still young
  
   It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
   By now you should know what to do
   It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
   Can't you hear them calling for you?
   So, fill them with lust and sparkling champagne
   Give them a good time, so they will come back again
   It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
   So make the most of it while you're still young
  
   Sailors and miners or just men about town
   They need you like whiskey and brandy
   And though they may be as proud as the rooster at dawn
   In your bed, they're like children with candy
   So, don't be afraid, just do what you can
   And someday, who knows, you might even find your own man
   So, don't let your dreams gather dust for today
   Just make the most of it while you're still young
  
   It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
   By now you should know what to do
   It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
   Can't you hear them calling for you?
   So, fill them with lust and sparkling champagne
   Give them a good time, so they will come back again
   It's the sailors' night on the town, girl
   So make the most of it while you're still young
