You Gotta Get a Gimmick

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 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!
 Electra
 She can uh... She can uh...
 She can uh... uh... uh...
 They'll never make her pitch.
 Me, I uh... and I uh...
 And I uh... uh... uh...
 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 uh... uh... uh...
 Ain't gonna spell success.
 Me, I uh... and I uh...
 And I uh... uh... uh...
 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!
