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
Sweet
Sweet thing like

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