First Taste

Of course, you won't have noticed me before,
looking around the bar,
I'm one of the first girls on this shift.

I always dress down at 2am,
it's a way of getting noticed,
I don't get paid otherwise.

Some of you come for the company —
hoping for strong feminine arms to hold them —
others just for an anaesthetising drink.

I know all of you,
business men, loners, soldiers,
goodtime boys.

Well I'm a professional too —
make the most of me while I'm here.
At the end of the night I'll go back
home to my cat and my flat. Goodbye.
