Verse 1
G
Oh, the Cap Street girls
C

With their pretty curls and bows
G
Em
And the lonely lights in their eyes
C
G
How I long to lie on a
C
summer's day
Am
G
And they are in the arms
D
C
G
of the capstreet girls
Am
When I was young I thought they're
C
just pretty painted ladies
G
F
Waving fans from their chaise
C
lounges to bands

But then I grew old

and I learned of the pleasures
Am
that were waiting
C

In their powdered bosoms, bottomless

In the hands of the Capstreet Girls

Oh, the Capstreet Girls

How I long to ride on a summer's night

Then came the day
when they came to tear
down all the buildings
C

Making way for the Cap

to Woolworths and to Hennessys
G
F
Selling clothes and pantyhose

How it all just slipped away,

but still I crave

For the dames of the Capstreet Girls
G
Oh, the Capstreet Girls
C
Am
With their pretty curls and bows
G

And the lonely light in their eyes
C

How I long to lie,
C

on a summer's night, in there,

in the arms of the Capstreet Girls
