CAnnette and Charmaine check in at six
Choose their pitch for the Gnight
FEasy money that's Gwhat they sayF  
When you get your mind Cright
CCharmaine wanted to be an actress
She never made the Ggrade
FFound it was not so much Ggetting the part
More a Fmatter of getting laidC  G  C  G  
[Verse]
There's CSandy, sometimes he's a girl
Sometimes she's a Gman
No Fproblem, that's oGkay, everybody underFstandsC  
CPoints out a drink with a cigarette
She's got a cool nonchalant Gair
FFlashing his eyes in the GmirrorF  
Casually checking her Chair, she doesn't GcareC  G  
[Chorus]
There's a Amwhole world out there, passing throughG  
I see it every Cday
Watching me, watching youG  
From a corner caCféF  C  F  G  C  G  C  
[Verse]
CThe rich kids come in from the suburbs
They're dressing down and hanging Gout
FGetting a taste of the Gstreet sceneF  
Taking a taxi outC  
CThey're watching all the girls at the bar
They wonder how much they Gcost
FLaughing at the transGvestiteF  
She's looking lostC  G  C  G  C  
[Verse]
CAnnette leaves with the big man
He's got hairs on the back of his Ghand
He Fsays he'll make her a Gbig starF  
And find her a backing bandC  
CHe's old but he's rich so what does she care
Life all round is Ghard
FNo one's looking for Greal commitment
It's just Flove on a credit cardC  G  C  G
