Men made out of monkeys
<noinclude>{{Lyrics for|Charm School}}</noinclude>
Men made into mice
Men made out of monkeys<br>
Happy days are here again
Men made into mice<br>
And all the drinks half price
Happy days are here again<br>
A girl with a trick and a man with a calling
And all the drinks half price<br>
 
A girl with a trick and a man with a calling<br>
Trying to make a living out of your downfalling
<br>
TRYING TO MAKE A LIVING out of anything at all
Trying to make a living out of your downfalling<br>
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel
Trying to make a living out of anything at all<br>
In that charm school
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel<br>
 
In that charm school<br>
You and I as lovers
<br>
Were nothing but a farce
You and I as lovers<br>
TRYING TO MAKE A SILK PURSE
Were nothing but a farce<br>
OUT OF A SOW'S ARSE
Trying to make a silk purse<br>
Saying 'Why don't you watch me'
Out of a sow's arse<br>
Hardly speaking SOTTO VOCE
Saying "Why don't you watch me"<br>
 
Hardly speaking sotto voce<br>
I've got a notion
<br>
I've got an angle
Trying to make a living out of your downfalling<br>
Take your dreams and promises
Trying to make a living out of anything at all<br>
And put them through the mangle
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel<br>
They say it's hell to finance too
In that charm school<br>
And I just want to romance you
<br>
 
I've got a notion<br>
In this perpetual nightclub
I've got an angle<br>
I'll be yours eternal
Take your dreams and promises<br>
Though the hours are long
And put them through the mangle<br>
And the noise infernal
They say it's hell to finance too<br>
JUST ONE SHAMEFUL ACT OR SOMETIMES TWO
And I just want to romance you<br>
WE MAKE BELIEVE WE'RE MAKING DO
<br>
In this perpetual nightclub<br>
I'll be yours eternal<br>
Though the hours are long<br>
And the noise infernal<br>
Just one shameful act or sometimes two<br>
We make believe we're making do<br>
<br>
Trying to make a living out of your downfalling<br>
Trying to make a living out of anything at all<br>
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel<br>
In that charm school<br>
<br>
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel<br>
In that charm school, in that charm school<br>

lyrics for
Charm School

Men made out of monkeys
Men made into mice
Happy days are here again
And all the drinks half price
A girl with a trick and a man with a calling

Trying to make a living out of your downfalling
Trying to make a living out of anything at all
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel
In that charm school

You and I as lovers
Were nothing but a farce
Trying to make a silk purse
Out of a sow's arse
Saying "Why don't you watch me"
Hardly speaking sotto voce

Trying to make a living out of your downfalling
Trying to make a living out of anything at all
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel
In that charm school

I've got a notion
I've got an angle
Take your dreams and promises
And put them through the mangle
They say it's hell to finance too
And I just want to romance you

In this perpetual nightclub
I'll be yours eternal
Though the hours are long
And the noise infernal
Just one shameful act or sometimes two
We make believe we're making do

Trying to make a living out of your downfalling
Trying to make a living out of anything at all
Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel
In that charm school

Didn't they teach you anything except how to be cruel
In that charm school, in that charm school
