there's no business like ho business
we're so busy, you know
every scrap of clothing we'll be peeling
every thing we do is not allowed
but our johns all leave with happy feelings
we fake our squealin'...we all know how

there's no people like ho people
their style is to lay low
yesterday, you're picked up by the vice squad car
the night, you're spendin', behind iron bars
next day, you'll be struttin' like a porno star
so go get you a whore

we love boys...we wrestle...we tumble, while bound
we're rousted from the dusk until the dawn
the corners...the red lights...where pleasure is found
we sashay with our clothes just painted on
the white dust known as horse we do as well
what fun we're makin' in a cheap motel

there's no business like ho business
come do business with hos
though our mamas must be brokenhearted
wond'rin' how their parentin' went wrong
a fool and her two legs will soon be parted
the party's started...its all night long

there's no people like ho people
they turn tricks for the dough
many times we spend the proceeds all on crack
sometimes, abusin' a bit of smack
we make all our money lyin' on our backs
so go get you a ho

the costumes...the weinery...the make-up...the cops
the pimps that own the women in this town
the heartaches...the backaches...the places, you flop
the sheriff who is always bearin' down
the evenings when you're beaten like a drum
the evenings when the customers don't come

there's no business like ho business
some think that we are low
take a chance on me...i'm finally healin'
medicine has fixed me up somehow
at least i earn my pay...i am not stealin'
i'm still appealin'...i ain't no cow

there's no people like ho people
you ask and they will go
even when the evening weather's harsh and cold
a warm encounter can still unfold
all you need to do is bring a sack of gold
so go get you a ho
so go get you a ho
