Here's the story of 4 lovely ladies
Who are all single and having sex in the big city
    in and outside of their homes
All of them have differing hairstyles and careers,
    unlike their mothers
Who all live separately but always hang together
    in bars, dance clubs and cafes

Now let me tell you about them, one by one
First we'll start with  Carrie Bradshaw, who has really
    long curly hair, who wears it sometimes straight
    She is a sex columnist for the lonely loined ones
    who are looking to get laid but don't know how
         A fashion diva who is always keepin up with the times

Next there's Samantha Jones, who sports a gorgeous
    blonde 'do, and never has a hair out of place
    (except in bed)
    She is a PR Exec for all the "who's who" in Applewood
    and never fails to put the men in the mood
        A glamour doll who likes to do it up pure hollywood style

There's also Charlotte, who has beautiful brown hair,
that's always coifed and upkept with the greatest of care
    She is an art gallery dealer for the up-and-coming
    hopefully soon-not-to-be starving artists,
    with some of them being whom she's kissed
    and sometimes more
        A conservative dresser who always looks like a lady

Lastly there's Miranda Hobbes, who has ravishing red hair,
the cutest cropped 'do you'll ever see
    She is a lawyer, who can get you out of an apartment
    eviction jam or save you from an expensive insurance scam
    all the while inbetween her search for the perfect man
        A sharp dressed woman who loves to hang out in casual

Now I'll tell you about the men who were important
in their lives at one point, but not anymore...

We'll start with Mr. Big
Who was Carrie's true first love
He seemed to fit her bill of a man in every way except one
    He was an emotionally unavailable, distant rich guy
        who thought that money could buy everything
        including happiness
    He was always blowing Carrie off with the tip of his cigar
        so she finally dumped him
    Then he married the perfect Natasha and became
        unhappily after all
    Because he really loved Carrie
        and all her imperfect, irrational ways

Then next I'll tell you about two of Samantha's
most interesting men
Who were two sizes of a different color
    One was Jeff whose pint size turned her off
        until his words of sex turned her on
    With the other being Mr. Cocky, who she didn't get to try
        because he was too big, even for her
    She's had many more lovers besides these two
        including one that she even loved
        but would rather forget
        because he threw her away like an old shoe
        when he met his soon-to-be-wife
    So she moved on and is living the single high life

Then there's Trey
Who is Charlotte's husband
    He was the catch of her lifetime
    He fell in love with her at first sight
        but he had one problem
    He couldn't get it up, even with the
        use of all his might
    Which caused them to eventually fall
        upon hard times
    Which left her feeling alone and
        disillusioned in what was suppose
        to be the perfect marriage

Now let me tell you about Steve
Who was Miranda's beau
    He was so full of insecurities
        and childlike behavior
        that anything she said
        always seemed like a critique
    They were happy together, but
        his shortcomings in his wallet
        and her becoming tired of playing mom
        finally got the better of them
    So they separated and went their own
        lonely ways
    With him realizing he needs to get his confidence
        together before he could be with a strong
        confident woman like her

These are four men who don't know each other
    but are all living with one thing in common
They are all single and alone in this big city
Hoping that one day that they'll meet a lady
Who will take him on as her fellow
    and give him all of her love
Though it will have to be someone else besides
    one of the ladies mentioned above

Because...

Despite all their problems with their past men,
    they all have a common love - the Cosmopolitan
    and a career that supports their own financial end
So maybe one day these 4 lovely ladies will forget
    about conventionality, pool all their money
    and talents together, buy a house and start
    a single ladies community
A house in which they will all live together
    while continuing to pursue the single life
    of good times and sex in the city,
    All the while maintaining their careers
        and keeping themselves mighty pretty

What will they call themselves?
Why they will call themselves - The Lady Bunch
The Lady Bunch
That's what they'll call themselves - The Lady Bunch
The Lady Bunch
Which is how they'll become The Lady Bunch
The Lady Bunch
The Lady Bunch
Yes, that's the way they'll become The Lady Bunch
