Gypsy movie - You Gotta Have A Gimmick lyrics

rate me

<br>

Mazeppa<br>

You can pull all the stops out<br>

Till they call the cops out<br>

Grind your behind till you're bend.<br>

But you gotta get a gimmick<br>

If you wanna get a hand.<br>

You can sacrifice your sacharo<br>

Working in the back row.<br>

Bump in a dump till you're dead.<br>

Kid you gotta have a gimmick<br>

If you wanna get ahead.<br>

You can uh...You can uh...<br>

You can uh...uh...uh...<br>

That's how Burlesque was born.<br>

So I uh...and I uh...<br>

And I uh...uh...uh...<br>

But I do it with a horn...<br>

Once I was a Schleppa,<br>

Now I'm Miss Mazzeppa,<br>

With my revolution in dance.<br>

You gotta have a gimmick<br>

If you wanna have a chance!<br>

<br>

Electra<br>

She can uh... She can uh...<br>

She can uh...uh...uh...<br>

They'll never make her pitch.<br>

Me, I uh... and I uh...<br>

And I uh...uh...uh...<br>

But I do it with a switch.<br>

I'm electrifying<br>

And I ain't even trying.<br>

I never had to sweat to get paid<br>

'Cause if you got a gimmick<br>

Gypsy girl, you got it made.<br>

<br>

Tessie Tura<br>

All them uh and then uh...<br>

And that uh...uh...uh...<br>

Ain't gonna spell success.<br>

Me, I uh... and I uh...<br>

And I uh...uh...uh...<br>

But I do it with finesse.<br>

Lady Tura is so much more then purer<br>

Than all them other ladies because-<br>

You gotta get a gimmick<br>

If you wanna get applause.<br>

<br>

ALL<br>

Do something special<br>

Anything special<br>

And you'll get better because<br>

Come on and just do mimic<br>

When you gotta gimmick<br>

Take a look how different we are!<br>

<br>

Electra<br>

If you wanna make it,<br>

Twinkle while you shake it.<br>

<br>

Tura<br>

If you wanna grind it,<br>

Wait till you refined it.<br>

<br>

Mazeppa<br>

If you wanna stump it,<br>

Bump it with a trumpet!<br>

<br>

ALL<br>

Get yourself a gimmick and you too,<br>

Can be a star!<br>

<br>
