You Gotta Get a Gimmick
Take it from me, to be a stripper, all you need to have is no talent You'll pardon me, but to have no talent is not enough What you need is an idea Something that's gonna make your strip special You can pull all the stops out 'Till they call the cops out Grind your behind 'till your banned But you gotta get a gimmick, if you wanna get ahead You can sacrifice your sacro, working in the back row Bump in a dump 'till you're dead Kid you gotta get a gimmick, if you wanna get ahead You can uh, you can uh, you can uh, uh, uh That's how burlesque was born Me I uh, and I uh, and I uh, uh, uh But I do it with a horn *Trumpet Playing* Once I was a schlepa', now I'm Miss Mazepa With my revolution in dance Oh you gotta get a gimmick if you wanna have a chance She can uh, she can uh, she can uh, uh, uh They'll never make her rich Me I uh, and I uh, and I uh, uh, uh But I do it with a switch I'm electrifyin' and I'm not even tryin' Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I never have to sweat to get paid Cuz if you've got a gimmick Gypsy girl you've got it made All them uhs, and them uhs, and them uh, uh, uhs Aint gonna spell success Me I uh, and I uh, and I uh, uh, uh But I do it with finese Dressy Tessie Tura is so much more demure-a than all them other ladies because You gotta get a gimmick If you wanna get applause Do something special, anything that's special Earn you a big fat cigar You're more than just a mimic, when ya' got a gimmick Take a look how different we are Uh, Uh, Uh, If you wanna make it, twinkle while you shake it If you wana grind it wait 'till you've refined it If you wana bump it bump it with a trumpet Get yourself a gimmick and you, too Can be a Star!
