Mazeppa
You can pull all the stops out
Till they call the cops out
Grind your behind till you're banned.
But you gotta get a gimmick
If you wanna get a hand.
You can sacrifice your sacro
Working in the back row.
Bump in a dump till 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 Schleppa,
Now I'm Miss Mazzeppa,
With my revolution in dance.
You gotta have a gimmick
If you wanna have a chance!
Electra
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 electrifying
And I ain't even trying.
I never have to sweat to get paid
'Cause if you got a gimmick
Gypsy girl, you got it made.
Tessie Tura
All them uh's and them uh's
And that uh...uh...uh's...
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 demurer
Than all them other ladies because-
You gotta get a gimmick
If you wanna get applause.
ALL
Do something special
Anything that's fresh'll
Earn you a big fat cigar.
(above lines are done in a round)
You're more than just a mimic
When you gotta gimmick
Take a look how different we are!
Electra
If you wanna make it,
Twinkle while you shake it.
Tura
If you wanna grind it,
Wait till you refined it.
Mazeppa
If you wanna bump it,
Bump it with a trumpet!
ALL
Get yourself a gimmick and you too,
Can be a star!
