Valerie Walsh, Kelly Wilson & Judy Cannon - Gypsy (Original London Cast Recording)

You Gotta Get a Gimmick

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 Have 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 Mazzeppa,
With My Revolution In Dance.
You Gotta Have A Gimmick
If You Wanna Have A Chance!
Electra
She Can Uh... She Can Uh...
She Can Uh... Uh... Uh...
They'll Never Make Her Pitch.
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 Got It Made.
Tessie Tura
All Them Uh And Then Uh...
And That 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.
Lady Tura Is So Much More Then Purer
Than All Them Other Ladies Because-
You Gotta Get A Gim
mick
If You Wanna Get Applause.
All
Do Something Special
Anything Special
And You'll Get Better Because
Come On And Just Do Mimic
When You Gotta Gimmick
Take A Look How Different We Are!
Electra
If You Wanna Make It,
Twinkle While You Shake It.
Tura
If You Wanna Grind It,
Wait Till You Refined It.
Mazeppa
If You Wanna Stump It,
Bump It With A Trumpet!
All
Get Yourself A Gimmick And You Too,
Can Be A Star!
