I want to be a stripper
some girls were born to dance
I'd glissade and tour jete
pirouette and releve
please mister give me a chance

I want to be a stripper
I'd be beautiful and grand
Overhearing people say
hey that girl could
go all the way
please mister let me dance

I know that I could do it
I knew that I'd be swell
a cheering crowd
would yell for more
and I'd say no
not another encore
smile and bid a fond farewell

a tra la la tra la la
