Beautifull dolls in the windows
Patiently biding their time
But their eyes looking out to a street full of men
Who are trying to make up their minds
And the lights they keep shining
From eve to silvery down
But who needs to sleep when you're fallen in love
With the girls of Amsterdam, boy, the girls of Amsterdam
Late last night we were drinking
Down in the corner café
When fighting broke out with terrible shouts
And people were running away
From the cops that came stream in
Trying to bring us all in
But we spent the night in soft, silky beds
With the girls of Amsterdam, boy, the girls of Amsterdam
(bridge)
Some people shout at them, blush them with shame
Others may call them by silly old names
But nobody loves a sailor
Like the girls of Amsterdam, boy, the girls of Amsterdam
