[00:11.50]Her name was Kitty
[00:13.50]Made her money being pretty and witty
[00:16.50]They gave her the keys to this city
[00:19.30]Then they said she didn't do it legitly, oh
[00:23.50]I bought a ticket
[00:25.70]She's dancing in her garters and fishnets
[00:28.70]Fifty in the cast, zero missteps
[00:31.80]Looking back, I guess it was kismet
[00:35.30]I waited by the stage door, packed in with the autograph hounds
[00:40.00]Barking her name, then glowing like the end of a cigarette
[00:43.40]Wow, she came out
[00:45.00]I said, "You're living my drеam"
[00:48.20]Then she said to me
[00:51.70]"Hеy, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[00:55.80]You're sweeter than a peach
[00:57.50]But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:01.90]And you're never ever gonna
[01:04.00]Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
[01:07.90]You're softer than a kitten
[01:09.60]So you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:14.10]And you're never gonna wanna"
[01:18.10]She was a menace
[01:20.20]The baby of the family in Lenox
[01:23.10]Her father whored around like all men did
[01:26.40]Her mother took pills and played tennis
[01:30.80]So she waited by the stage door as the club promoter arrived
[01:34.40]She said, "I'd sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life that's all mine"
[01:40.20]But that's not what showgirls get
[01:43.20]They leave us for dead
[01:46.60]Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
[01:50.40]You're sweeter than a peach
[01:52.20]But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[01:56.70]And you're never ever gonna
[01:58.60]Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
[02:02.50]You're softer than a kitten
[02:04.20]So you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
[02:08.90]And you're never gonna wanna
[02:11.10]I took her pearls of wisdom, hung them from my neck
[02:14.00]I paid my dues with every bruise, I knew what to expect
[02:17.30]Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?
[02:20.30]They ripped me off like false lashes and then threw me away
[02:24.00]And all the headshots on the walls
[02:27.60]Of the dance hall are of the bitches
[02:30.50]Who wish I'd hurry up and die
[02:35.30]But I'm immortal now, baby dolls
[02:40.00]I couldn't if I tried
[02:44.80]So I say
[02:47.20]"Thank you for the love...........
