Smelling like a brewery, looking like a tramp, 
I ain't got a quarter, got a postage stamp 
Been five o'clock shadow boxing all around the town, 
Talking with the old man, sleeping on the ground 
Bazanti bootin al zootin al hoot and Al Cohn 
Sharing this apartment with a telephone pole 
And a fish-net stocking, spike-heel shoes, 
Strip tease, prick tease, car keys blues 
And the porno floor show, live nude girls, 
Dreamy and creamy and brunette curls 
Chesty Morgan and Watermelon Rose 
Raise my rent and take off all your clothes 
With trench coats, magazines, a bottle full of rum, 
She's so good, make a dead man come 
Pasties and a G-string, beer and a shot 
Portland through a shot glass and a Buffalo squeeze 
Wrinkles and Cherry and Twinkie and Pinkie and Fifi live from Gay Paree 
Fanfares, rim shots, back stage, who cares, all this hot burlesque for me 
(scat) 
 
Cleavage, cleavage, thighs and hips 
]From the nape of her neck to the lipstick lips 
Chopped and channeled and lowered and lewd 
And the cheater slicks and baby moons 
She's a-hot and ready, creamy and sugared 
And the band is awful and so are the tunes 
(scat) 
 
Crawling on her belly, and shaking like jelly, 
And I'm getting harder than Chinese algebrassieres 
And cheers from the (hmm) compendium here 
'Hey sweetheart' they're yelling for more 
You're squashing out your cigarette butts on the floor 
And I like Shelly, and you like Jane 
And what was the girl with the snakeskin's name? 
And it's an early-bird matinee, come back any day, 
Get you a little something that you can't get at home 
Get you a little something that you can't get at home 
It's pasties and a G-string, beer and a shot 
Portland through a shot glass and a Buffalo squeeze 
Popcorn, front row, higher than a kite, and I'll be back tomorrow night, 
And I'll be back tomorrow night 
(scat)
