Oh, the Cap Street girls
With their pretty curls and bows
And the lonely light in their eyes
How I long to lie
On a summer's day in there
In the arms of the Cap Street girls
When I was young I thought
They're just pretty painted ladies
Waving fans from their chaise lounge divans
But then I grew old and I learned
Of the pleasures that were waiting
In their powdered bosoms bottomless
It was torture for a man
Should he land
In the hands of the Cap Street girls
Oh, the Cap Street girls
With their pretty curls and bows
And the lonely light in their eyes
How I long to lie
On a summer's night in there
In the arms of the Cap Street girls
Then came the day when they came
To tear down all the buildings
Making way for the Cap Street thoroughfare
And all the girls disappeared
To Woolworths and to Hennessy's
Selling clothes and pantyhose
How it all just slipped away
But still I crave
For the days of the Cap Street girls
Oh, the Cap Street girls
With their pretty curls and bows
And the lonely light in their eyes
How I long to lie
On a summer's night in there
In the arms of the Cap Street girls
Oh, the Cap Street girls
Oh, the Cap Street girls
