Mazeppa
You can pull all the stops out
Till they call the cops out
Grind your behind till you're bend
But you gotta get a gimmick
If you wanna get a hand
You can sacrifice your sacharo
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 uhYou can uh
You can uhuhuh
That's how Burlesque was born
So I uhand I uh
And I uhuhuh
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 uhuhuh
They'll never make her pitch
Me, I uh and I uh
And I uhuhuh
But I do it with a switch
I'm electrifying
And I ain't even trying
I never had to sweat to get paid
'Cause if you got a gimmick
Gypsy girl, you got it made

Tessie Tura
All them uh and then uh
And that uhuhuh
Ain't gonna spell success
Me, I uh and I uh
And I uhuhuh
But I do it with finesse
Lady Tura is so much more then purer
Than all them other ladies because-
You gotta get a gimmick
If you wanna get applause

ALL
Do something special
Anything special
And you'll get better because
Come on and just do 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 stump it,
Bump it with a trumpet!

ALL
Get yourself a gimmick and you too,
Can be a star!
