… 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
There’s a calm surrender
To the rush of day
When the heat of a rolling wind
Can be turned away
An enchanted moment
And it sees me through
It’s enough for this restless warrior
Just to be with you
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It’s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it’s laid to rest?
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
There’s a time for everyone
If they only learn
That the twisting kaleidoscope
Moves us all in turn
There’s a rhyme and reason
To the wild outdoors
When the heart of this star-crossed voyager
Beats in time with yours
And can you feel the love tonight?
It is where we are
It’s enough for this wide-eyed wanderer
That we got this far
And can you feel the love tonight
How it’s laid to rest?
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
It’s enough to make kings and vagabonds
Believe the very best
Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say
You pay your money
You take your choice
Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you lose
You’re showing off
You’re showing out
You look for trouble
Turn around, give me a shout
I take it all
You squeeze me dry
And now today
You couldn’t even say goodbye
I could take you home
On the midnight train again
I could make an offer you can’t refuse
Whatever you want
Whatever you like
Whatever you say
You pay your money
You take your choice
Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you lose
You’re showing off

It sounds so nice, what you’re proposin’
Just once or twice, and not disclosin’
And not disclosin’ how we’re really really feelin’
What you’re proposin’ the other night
As I was leavin’, I looks left and right
And not believin’
And not believin’ that I’d finally be leavin’
What you’re proposin’, now get it right
If I’m composin’, but then I might
Be runny nosin’
I might be runny runny runny runny nosin’
But you’re supposin’
Don’t be so sure, and just supposin’
We yell for more, and compromisin’
And compromisin’ leads to really really feelin’
And just supposin’, don’t get me wrong
I’m only dreamin’, it can’t be long
I must be dreamin’
I must be dreamin’, dreamin’, only only dreamin’
Am I just supposin’?
It sounds so nice, what you’re proposin’
Just once or twice, and not disclosin’
And not disclosin’ how we’re really really feelin’
What you’re proposin’ the other night
As I was leavin’, I looks left and right
And not believin’
And not believin’ that I’d finally be leavin’
What you’re proposin’
And not believin’ that I’d finally be leavin’
What you’re proposin’
And not believin’ that I’d finally be leavin’
What you’re proposin’
Oh, here we are and here we are
And here we go
All aboard and we’re hittin’ the road
Here we go, oh, rockin’ all over the world
And giddy up and giddy up
And get away
We’re goin’ crazy and we’re goin’ today
Here we go, oh, rockin’ all over the world
And I like it, I like it
I like it, I like it
I li-li, like it, li-li-li
Here we go, oh, rockin’ all over the world
We’re gonna tell your mama what you’re gonna do
Come on out with your dancin’ shoes
Here we go, oh, rockin’ all over the world
And I like it, I like it
I like it, I like it
I li-li, like it, li-li-li
Here we go, oh, rockin’ all over the world
And I like it, I like it
I like it, I like it
I li-li, like it, li-li-li
Here we go, oh, rockin’ all over the world
[Verse 1]
Deep love is a burning fire
Stay, ’cause then the flames grows higher
Babe, don’t let him steal your heart
It’s easy, easy
Girl, this game can’t last forever
Why we cannot live together?
Try, don’t let him take your love from me
[Chorus]
You’re no good, can’t you see?
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
I’m in love, set her free
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Only love breaks her heart
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Only love’s paradise
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Oh, let it, Louie, she is undercover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, doing what he’s doing
So leave it, Louie, ’cause I’m her lover
[Verse 2]
Stay, ’cause this boy wants to gamble
Stay, love’s more than he can handle, girl
Oh, come on, stay by me forever, ever
Why does he go on pretending
That his love is never ending
Babe, don’t let him steal your love from me
[Chorus]
You’re no good, can’t you see?
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
I’m in love, set her free
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Only love breaks her heart
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Only love’s paradise
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Oh, let it, Louie, she is undercover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, doing what he’s doing
So leave it, Louie, ’cause I’m her lover
[Outro]
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Oh, let it, Louie, she is undercover
Brother Louie, Louie, Louie
Oh, doing what he’s doing
So leave it, Louie, ’cause I’m her lover
Brother Louie, Louie
Oh, she’s only looking to me
Oh, let it, Louie—
If I had the chance, love
I would not hesitate
To tell you all things I never said before
Don’t tell me it’s too late
‘Cause I’ve relied on my illusions
To keep me warm at night
And I’ve denied in my capacity to love
But I am willing to give up this fight
I’ve been up all night drinking
To drown my sorrow down
But nothing seems to help me since you went away
I’m so tired of this town
Where every tongue is wagging
When every back is turned
They’re telling secrets that should never be revealed
There’s nothing to be gained from this but disaster
Here’s a good one
Did you hear about my friend?
He’s embarrassed to be seen now
‘Cause we all know his sins
If I had the chance, love
You know I would not hesitate
To tell you all the things I’d never said before
Don’t tell me it’s too late
‘Cause I’ve relied on my illusions
To keep me warm at night
I denied in my capacity to love
I am willing to give up this fight
Oh, I am willing to give up this fight
When I get high I get high on speed
Top fuel funny car’s a drug for me
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Always got the cops coming after me
Custom-built bike doing 103
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Oh, are you ready girls?
Oh, are you ready now?
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah, baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby, yeah
Skydive naked from an aeroplane
Or a lady with a body from outer space
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Say I got trouble, trouble in my eyes
I’m just looking for another good time
My heart, my heart
Kick start my heart
Yeah, are you ready girls?
Yeah, are you ready now, now, now?
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah, baby, whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby
When we started this band
All we needed, needed was a laugh
Years gone by, I’d say we’ve kicked some ass
When I’m enraged or hittin’ the stage
Adrenaline rushing through my veins
And I’d say we’re still kickin’ ass
I say, ooh ah, kick start my heart
I hope it never stops
And to think, we did all of this to rock
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah, b-b-b-b-b-b-baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, hope it never stops
Whoa, yeah, baby
Whoa, yeah
Kick start my heart, give it a start
Whoa, yeah
Okay boys, let’s rock the house
That’s all
Kickstart my heart
