The Life of a Showgirl

[00:11.48] Her name was Kitty
[00:13.40] Made her money being pretty and witty
[00:16.58] They gave her the keys to this city
[00:19.39] Then they said she didn't do it legitly
[00:23.65] I bought a ticket
[00:25.74] She's dancing in her garters and fishnets
[00:28.99] 50 in the cast, zero missteps
[00:31.94] Looking back I guess it was kismet
[00:35.81] I waited by the stage door
[00:38.00] Packed in with the autograph hounds
[00:39.75] Barking her name
[00:41.02] Then glowing like the end of a cigarette
[00:43.32] Wow, she came out
[00:45.04] I said, "You're living my dream"
[00:48.58] Then she said to me
[00:51.94] "Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[00:55.98] You're sweeter than a peach
[00:57.64] But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:02.14] And you're never, ever gonna
[01:03.99] Wait, the more you play the more that you pay
[01:08.09] You're softer than a kitten so
[01:09.95] You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:14.04] And you're never gonna wanna"
[01:18.41] She was a menace
[01:20.13] The baby of the family in Lenox
[01:23.36] Her father whored around like all men did
[01:26.55] Her mother took pills and played tennis
[01:30.65] So she waited by the stage door
[01:32.80] As the club promoter arrived
[01:34.46] She said, "I'd sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life, that's all mine"
[01:39.80] But that's not what showgirls get
[01:43.09] They leave us for dead
[01:46.66] "Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[01:50.58] You're sweeter than a peach
[01:52.27] But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:56.72] And you're never, ever gonna
[01:58.62] Wait, the more you play the more that you pay
[02:02.57] You're softer than a kitten so
[02:04.96] You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[02:08.74] And you're never gonna wanna"
[02:10.76] I took her pearls of wisdom
[02:12.62] Hung them from my neck
[02:14.16] I paid my dues with every bruise
[02:15.78] I knew what to expect
[02:17.37] Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?
[02:20.55] They ripped me off like false lashes
[02:22.13] And then threw me away
[02:24.34] And all the headshots on the walls
[02:27.60] Of the dancehall are of the bitches
[02:31.08] Who wish I'd hurry up and die
[02:35.84] But I'm immortal now, baby dolls
[02:39.70] I couldn't if I tried
[02:44.73] So I say
[02:47.18] "Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[02:50.01] I'm married to the hustle
[02:51.86] And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
[02:56.05] And I'll never know another
[02:58.26] Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace (lipstick and lace)
[03:02.32] Sequins are forever and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
[03:08.15] Wouldn't have it any other way"
[03:11.93] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:14.52] Wouldn't have it any other way
[03:17.54] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:21.80] Hey Kitty
[03:23.60] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:26.21] Now I make my money being pretty and witty
[03:29.72] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:36.63] Thank you for an unforgettable night
[03:39.39] We will see you next time
[03:41.18] Give it up for the band
[03:44.27] And the dancers
[03:46.85] And of course, Sabrina
[03:48.60] I love you, Taylor!
[03:50.23] That's our show
[03:51.14] We love you so much
[03:52.36] Goodnight!
