You can pull all the stops out
'Til they call the cops out
Grind your behind 'til you're banned
But you gotta get a gimmick
If you wanna get a hand

You can sacrifice your saccro
Working in the back row
Bump in a dump 'til you're dead
Kid, you gotta have a gimmick
If you wanna get ahead

You can uh, you can uh
You can uh, uh, uh
That's how burlesque was born
So I uh, and I uh
And I uh, uh, uh
But I do it with a horn

Once I was a schlepper
Now I'm Miss Mazeppa
With my revolution in dance
You gotta have a gimmick
If you wanna have a chance!

She can uh, she can uh
She can uh, uh, uh
That'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 ain't even tryin'
I never have to sweat to get paid
'Cause if you got a gimmick
Gypsy girl, you got it made

All them uh and then uh
And that uh, uh, uh
Ain't gonna spell success
Me, I uh, and I uh
And I uh, uh, uh
But I do it with finesse

Dressy Tessie Tura is so much more demur-er
Than all them other ladies because
You gotta get a gimmick
If you wanna get applause

Do something special 
Anything that's special (do something special)
Earn you a big fat cigar (anything special, anything special)
(Earn you a big fat cigar)

You're more than just a mimic
When you gotta gimmick
Take a look how different we are

If you wanna make it
Twinkle while you shake it

If you wanna grind it
Wait 'til you've refined it

If you wanna bump it
Bump it with a trumpet

get yourself a gimmick and you, too
Can be a star!
