The Life of a Showgirl
[00:11.61] Her name was Kitty
[00:13.21] Made her money being pretty and witty
[00:16.40] They gave her the keys to this city
[00:19.32] Then they said she didn't do it legitly, oh
[00:23.56] I bought a ticket
[00:25.69] She's dancing in her garters and fishnets
[00:28.61] 50 in the cast, zero missteps
[00:31.80] Looking back, I guess it was kismet
[00:35.26] I waited by the stage door
[00:37.91] Packed in with the autograph hounds
[00:39.74] Barking her name
[00:40.84] Then glowing like the end of a cigarette
[00:43.23] Wow, she came out
[00:44.78] I said, "You're living my dream"
[00:48.25] Then she said to me
[00:51.70] "Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[00:55.69] You're sweeter than a peach
[00:57.27] But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:02.05] And you're never, ever gonna
[01:03.92] Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
[01:07.90] You're softer than a kitten so
[01:10.03] You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:14.02] And you're never gonna wanna"
[01:18.26] She was a menace
[01:20.12] The baby of the family in Lenox
[01:23.04] Her father whored around like all men did
[01:26.50] Her mother took pills and played tennis
[01:30.48] So she waited by the stage door
[01:32.61] 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"
[01:39.77] But that's not what showgirls get
[01:42.96] They leave us for dead
[01:46.41] Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[01:50.40] You're sweeter than a peach
[01:52.00] But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:56.51] And you're never, ever gonna
[01:58.64] Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
[02:02.62] You're softer than a kitten so
[02:04.74] You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[02:08.73] And you're never gonna wanna
[02:10.86] I took her pearls of wisdom
[02:12.44] Hung them from my neck
[02:13.78] I paid my dues with every bruise
[02:15.65] I knew what to expect
[02:17.23] Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?
[02:20.42] They ripped me off like false lashes
[02:22.01] And then threw me away
[02:23.87] And all the headshots on the walls
[02:27.59] Of the dance hall are of the bitches
[02:30.51] Who wish I'd hurry up and die
[02:35.85] But I'm immortal now, baby dolls
[02:39.58] I couldn't if I tried
[02:44.62] So I say
[02:47.28] "Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[02:49.95] I'm married to the hustle
[02:51.53] And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
[02:56.31] And I'll never know another
[02:57.90] Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace (Lipstick and lace)
[03:02.15] Sequins are forever and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
[03:07.99] Wouldn't have it any other way"
[03:11.45] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:14.10] Wouldn't have it any other way
[03:17.29] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:22.08] Hey Kitty
[03:22.86] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:26.32] Now I make my money being pretty and witty
[03:28.98] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:36.69] Thank you for an unforgettable night
[03:39.35] We will see you next time
[03:40.94] Give it up for the band
[03:44.65] And the dancers
[03:47.05] And of course, Sabrina
[03:48.64] I love you, Taylor

[03:51.03] We love you so much
[03:52.35] Goodnight
