A Sweet Thing Like Me
And now, presenting for your delectation
That reigning queen of the runway
The tempting... titillating... Satin!
You're so big
'N' you're so strong
You're so tough
'N' you're so tall
You're so rough
'N' you're so hard
You're so big
'N' I'm so small
Now you wouldn't wanna give me trouble
You wouldn't wanna treat me bad
You wouldn't wanna hurt a sweet thing like me
Now wouldja?
Well, wouldja?
Nah, we're only playin' here, ain't we?
Takes your mind off the soup kitchens, huh?
Makes you forget about this little ole depression?
I know how to do it, don't I?
Cause I was born right here in Chicago!
Federal Street, uh-huh!
Spent my whole life in training for Harry Earle's Burlesque!
Where everybody's only playin'!
But you got needs -
You got ideas
You get here
'N' you get hot
You got ways
To get your way
You got needs
For what I got
But you wouldn't wanna give me trouble
You wouldn't wanna treat me bad
You wouldn't wanna hurt a sweet thing like me
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no
Look-a-me, look-a-me
'At's what I'm here for
Gettin' your hunger on
Gettin' you sweaty
Gettin' you set
And then I'm gettin' gone
Look-a-me, look-a-me, look-a-me
'At's right
Everyone gets to share
'N' I'll be okay
So long as I stay up here
And you stay there
You too much for one little girl!
I need a little help out here!
How you been?
We been real good
How you feel?
We feel real good
Yes, we know
Just how you been
Yes, we know
Just how you feel
How you been? (Yeah, you can look)
We been real good (But you can't touch, y' hear me?)
How you feel? (Y' hear me? Yeah, we stay here and you stay there)
We feel real good (Y' hear me, y' hear me?)
Yes, we know (Yeah, we'll play nice)
Just how you been (Yeah, we won't fight, we'll just play nice)
Yes, we know (We'll play real nice, y' hear me?)
Just how you feel (Y' hear me? Y' hear me?)
'Cause you wouldn't wanna give me trouble
You wouldn't wanna treat me bad
You wouldn't wanna hurt a sweet
Sweet

Sweet thing like
Me
No you wouldn't!
No you wouldn't
Really hurt
A sweet thing like me!
