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!
