Pacific Overtures - Pretty Lady Lyrics

Sailor iii
Pretty lady in the pretty garden, can't you stay?
Pretty lady, we got leave and we got paid today.
Pretty lady with a flower,
Give a lonely sailor 'alf an hour.
Pretty lady, can you understand a word i say?
Don't go away.

Sailor i
Pretty lady, you're the cleanest thing i've seen all year.
Pretty lady, you're enough to make me glad i'm here.

Sailor ii
Pretty lady, could i hear you laugh?
I ain't heard a lady laugh for i don't know how long.
I'll sing a song for you,
Tell you tales of adventuring, strange and fantastical.
Pretty lady, i ain't never been away from home.
Pretty lady, beg your pardon,
Won't you walk me through your pretty garden?

Sailor iii
Pretty lady, i'm a million miles from stepney green.
You are the softest thing i ever seen.
Stay with me please, i been away so long.
Don't be afraid … hey,
No, listen, pretty lady, beg your pardon,
Won't you walk me through your pretty garden?

Sailor i
Pretty lady, how about it?
Don't you know how long i been without it?
Pretty lady in the garden, what you say?
Can't you stay? … hey. wait, don't go yet.
Pretty lady with the pretty bow,
Please don't go, it's early.
Won't you walk me through your pretty garden?

All sailors
Pretty lady, look, i'm on my knees,
Pretty please.

Sailor ii
Pretty lady in the pretty garden, won't you stay?

Sailors ii & iii
Pretty lady, we got leave and we got paid today.

Sailor i
Pretty lady with a flower,

All sailors
Give a lonely sailor 'alf an hour!

Sailor i
Pretty lady in the pretty garden, won't you stay?

Sailor ii
Pretty lady in the pretty garden, won't you stay?

Sailor iii
Pretty lady in the pretty garden, what you say?

Sailor i
Why can't you stay?

Sailor ii
I sailed the world for you!

Sailor iii
Don't go away!
