[Verse 1]
G Am
Her name was Kitty, Made her money being pretty and witty
F G
They gave her the keys to this city
Am F
Then they said she didn't do it legitly
G Am
I bought a ticket, She's dancing in her garters and fishnets
F G
Fifty in the cast, zero missteps
Am F
Looking back I guess it was kismet
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am
I waited by the stage door packed in with the autograph hounds
F G
Barking her name then glowing like the end of a cigarette (wow) she came out
Am F
I said, You're living my dream.
D
Then she said to me
[Chorus 1]
G
Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
F
You're sweeter than a peach
G Em F
But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
C
And you're never, ever gonna
G Am
Wait, the more you play the more that you pay
F
You're softer than a kitten so
G Em F
You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
C
And you're never gonna wanna
[Verse 2]
C Dm
She was a menace, The baby of the family in Lenox
Bb C
Her father whored around like all men did
Dm
Her mother took pills and played tennis
N.C.
So she waited by the stage door as the club promoter arrived
Dm Bb
She said, I'd sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life, that's all mine.
Dm Bb
But that's not what showgirls get
N.C.
[Chorus 2]
G
Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
F
You're sweeter than a peach
G Am F
But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
C
And you're never, ever gonna
G Am
Wait, the more you play the more that you pay
F
You're softer than a kitten so
G Am F
You don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
C
And you're never gonna wanna
(Single strum atau ikuti not bass: G F E Eb)
G G7
I took her pearls of wisdom
C Cm7
Hung them from my neck, I paid my dues with every bruise
G G7
I knew what to expect, Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?
C Cm7
They ripped me off like false lashes
G G7
And then threw me away, And all the headshots on the walls
C Cm7
Of the dance hall are of the bitches
G G7 C Cm7
Who wish I'd hurry up and die
Cm D
But I'm immortal now, baby dolls, I couldn't if I tried so I say
[Chorus 3]
G Am
So I say ""Thank you for the lovely bouquet
F
I'm married to the hustle
G Am
And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
F
And I'll never know another
G Am
Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace
F G
Sequins are forever and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
F G
Wouldn't have it any other way""
[Outro]
Am F G
Thank you for the lovely bouquet, Wouldn't have it any other way
Am F G
Thank you for the lovely bouquet
Am
Hey Kitty (thank you for the lovely bouquet)
F G
Now I make my money being pretty and witty
Am F G
Thank you for the lovely bouquet, Thank you for an unforgettable night
Am F
We will see you next time, Give it up for the band
G Am
And the dancers, And of course, Sabrina
F G Am F
