I want to be a stripper   some girls were born to dance   I'd glissade and tour jete   pirouette and releve   please mister give me a chance      I want to be a stripper   I'd be beautiful and grand   Overhearing people say   hey that girl could   go all the way   please mister let me dance      I know that I could do it   I knew that I'd be swell   a cheering crowd   would yell for more   and I'd say no   not another encore   smile and bid a fond farewell      a tra la la tra la la
