(Verse 1)
Her name was [G]Kitty
Made her money being pretty and [Am]witty
They [F]gave her the keys to this [G]city
Then they said she didn't do it [Am]legitly [F]
I bought a [G]ticket
She’s dancing in her garters and [Am]fishnets
[F]Fifty in the cast, zero [G]missteps
Looking back I guess it was [Am]kismet [F]
(Pre-Chorus)
I [G]waited by the stage
door packed in with the autograph [Am]hounds
Barking her name then [F]glowing like
the end of a [G]cigarette, she came [C]out
I said, "You'rе [Am]living my [F]dream."
Then [D]she said to mе
(Chorus)
[G]"Hey, thank you for the lovely [Am]bouquet
You're [F]sweeter than a peach
But [G]you don’t know the [Em]life of a showgirl, [F]babe
And you're [C]never, ever gonna
[G]Wait, the more you [Am]play the more that you pay
You're [F]softer than a kitten so
[G]You don’t know the [Em]life of a showgirl, [F]babe
And you're [C]never gonna wanna"
(Verse 2)
She was a [C]menace
The baby of the family in [Dm]Lenox
Her [Bb]father whored around like all [C]men did
Her mother took pills and played [Dm]tennis
So she waited by the stage
door as the club promoter arrived
[Dm]She said, "I'd sell my soul [Bb]to have a
taste of a [C]magnificent life, that's all [F]mine."
But that's [Dm]not what showgirls [Bb]get
They leave us for dead
(Chorus)
[G]"Hey, thank you for the lovely [Am]bouquet
You're [F]sweeter than a peach
But [G]you don’t know the [Am]life of a showgirl, [F]babe
And you're [C]never, ever gonna
[G]Wait, the more you [Am]play the more that you pay
You're [F]softer than a kitten so
[G]You don’t know the [Am]life of a showgirl, [F]babe
And you're [C]never gonna wanna"
(Bridge)
[G] I took her pearls of [G7]wisdom
Hung them from my [C]neck
I paid my dues with every [Cm7]bruise
I knew what to [G]expect
Do you wanna take a [G7]skate on the ice inside my [C]veins?
They ripped me off like false [Cm7]lashes
And then threw me [G]away
And all the [G7]headshots on the [C]walls
Of the [Cm7]dance hall are of the [G]bitches
Who wish I'd [G7]hurry up and [C]die [Cm7]
But I'm [Cm]immortal now, baby dolls
I [D]couldn't if I tried, so I say
(Chorus)
So I say [G]"Thank you for the lovely [Am]bouquet
I’m [F]married to the hustle
And [G]now I know the life of a showgirl, [Am]babe
And I'll [F]never know another
[G]Pain hidden by the lipstick and [Am]lace
[F]Sequins are forever and [G]now I
know the life of a showgirl, [Am]babe
Wouldn't [F]have it any other [G]way"
Thank you for the lovely [Am]bouquet
Wouldn't [F]have it any other [G]way
Thank you for the lovely [Am]bouquet [F]
Hey [G]Kitty, (thank you for the lovely [Am]bouquet)
Now I make my [F]money being pretty and [G]witty
Thank you for the lovely [Am]bouquet [F]
