[00:01.49] "The Life of a Showgirl"
[00:11.06] Her name was Kitty
[00:12.91] Made her money being pretty and witty
[00:16.11] They gave her the keys to this city
[00:19.02] Then they said she didn't do it legitly, oh
[00:23.01] I bought a ticket
[00:25.14] She's dancing in her garters and fishnets
[00:28.32] 50 in the cast, zero missteps
[00:31.51] Looking back, I guess it was kismet
[00:34.96] I waited by the stage door
[00:37.61] Packed in with the autograph hounds
[00:39.47] Barking her name
[00:40.54] Then glowing like the end of a cigarette
[00:42.66] Wow, she came out
[00:44.79] I said, "You're living my dream"
[00:48.24] Then she said to me
[00:51.16] "Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[00:55.42] You're sweeter than a peach
[00:57.02] But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:01.53] And you're never, ever gonna
[01:03.38] Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
[01:07.63] You're softer than a kitten so
[01:09.49] You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:13.74] And you're never gonna wanna"
[01:17.72] She was a menace
[01:19.85] The baby of the family in Lenox
[01:23.03] Her father whored around like all men did
[01:25.96] Her mother took pills and played tennis
[01:30.21] So she waited by the stage door
[01:32.07] As the club promoter arrived
[01:34.20] She said, "I'd sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life that's all mine"
[01:39.51] But that's not what showgirls get
[01:42.43] They leave us for dead
[01:45.89] Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[01:49.86] You're sweeter than a peach
[01:51.73] But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:56.24] And you're never, ever gonna
[01:58.63] Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
[02:02.09] You're softer than a kitten so
[02:04.48] You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[02:08.45] And you're never gonna wanna
[02:10.32] I took her pearls of wisdom
[02:11.91] Hung them from my neck
[02:13.51] I paid my dues with every bruise
[02:15.37] I knew what to expect
[02:16.96] Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?
[02:20.14] They ripped me off like false lashes
[02:21.48] And then threw me away
[02:23.61] And all the headshots on the walls
[02:27.06] Of the dance hall are of the bitches
[02:30.51] Who wish I'd hurry up and die
[02:35.55] But I'm immortal now, baby dolls
[02:39.27] I couldn't if I tried
[02:44.59] So I say
[02:46.71] "Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[02:49.63] I'm married to the hustle
[02:51.23] And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
[02:55.74] And I'll never know another
[02:57.34] Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace (Lipstick and lace)
[03:01.85] Sequins are forever and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
[03:07.69] Wouldn't have it any other way"
[03:11.68] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:14.34] Wouldn't have it any other way
[03:16.99] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:21.51] Hey Kitty
[03:24.43] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:25.22] Now I make my money being pretty and witty
[03:28.41] Thank you for the lovely bouquet
[03:35.58] Thank you for an unforgettable night
[03:38.51] We will see you next time
[03:40.63] Give it up for the band
[03:43.55] And the dancers
[03:46.21] And of course, Sabrina
[03:48.07] I love you, Taylor
[03:49.67] That's our show
[03:50.99] We love you so much
[03:51.79] Goodnight
