You Gotta Get a Gimmick (from "Gypsy") [Live]

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 saccro

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

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 hey baby

I'm electrifying

And I aingt even trying

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

Aingt 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

Do something special

Anything special

And you'll get better because

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 till you've refined it

If you wanna stump it

Bump it with a trumpet

So get yourself a gimmick and you too

Can be a star
