Bette Midler - You Gotta Get A Gimmick lyrics

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!
