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
