You Gotta Get A Gimmick Lyrics - Gypsy - Bette Midler

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 get 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 Mazeppa 

With my revolution in dance 

You gotta have a gimmick 

If you wanna have a chance 

She can uh, she can uh 

She can uh, uh, uh 

They'll never make her rich 

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've got it made 

All them uh and them uh 

And them 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 

Dressy Tessie Tura 

Is so much more then demurer 

Than all them other ladies because 

You gotta get a gimmick 

If you wanna get applause 

Do something special 

Anything special 

Do something special 

Anything special 

You're more than just a mimic 

When you got a gimmick 

Take a look how different we are 

If you wanna make it 

Twinkle while you shake it 

If you wanna grind it 

Wait till you refined it 

If you wanna pump it 

Pump it with a trumpet 

Get yourself a gimmick 

And you too can be a star
