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
