Billie Sneaks Into Dean & Dean's / Swingin' Uptown

(album: Lady Sings The Blues - 1972)

Come on. Kid, kid, come on, beat it

Hey, Mister, is, is the boss around?

You're saying goodbye to him
Bye-bye

Hey, but look, I work in the neighbourhood already, and I'd be willing to quit working and come up here and work for you

Yeah, I'd be very happy to quit, too
Come on, honey

Hey, but I can sing
I really can

Yeah

And can dance, and I know the words to every song that's out today
I mean, I've been really rehearsing and everything

That's very good, so do I
But I tell you, in order to be a showgirl, you, you gotta have something to, to show

Well, I got something, I really do
All you have to do is push it up a little bit and put some lip rouge on
I could do it, mister, give me a break

Hey, look, really, I'm good
All you have to do is give me a chance

Listen, listen, listen, girlie, girlie
Listen to me
I don't wanna hurt your feelings, but no amount of slinky and makeup is gonna change you into a female that looks like, uh... that

Louis, so good to see you!
I'll get you a great table
How about a nice table for Mr. McKay?
