They call her the lady of the night
  she's a woman of the world
  and easy-living girl with love for sale
  
  That's what they call her the lady of the night
  no one seems to know her name
  and even less about the place
  from where she came
  
  Every evening when the night is close at hand
  you'll find the lady on the Rue d'Avignon
  in a half lit hotel doorway the lady advertises warmly
  it's just a job but she'll do the best she can
  
  Don't try to change this lady of the night
  She's a lot like you and me
  and less than what she seems to be
  
  (She is the lady of the night)
  and easy-living girl
  (she is the lady of the night)
  she's a woman of the world
  (she is the lady of the night)
  with lots of loving for sale
  (she is the lady of the night)
  lady lady of the night
  
  Round here they call her the lady of the night
  in a perfume hotel room
  shadows dance upon the wall and fate at dawn
  she's no beginner this lady of the night
  never try that funny stuff
  'cause lady can be tough
  be warned!
  
  (She is the lady of the night)
  she's a lot like you and me
  (she is the lady of the night)
  and never just what she seems
  (she is the lady of the night)
  no one seems to know her name
  (she is the lady of the night)
  or the place from where she came
