Lyrics

Her name was Kitty
Made her money being pretty and witty
They gave her the keys to this city
Then they said she didn't do it legitly, uh
I waited by the stage door
Packed in with the autograph
Hounds barking her name
Then glowing like the end of a cigarette
"Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
You're sweeter than a peach
But you don't know the life of a showgirl, babe
And you're never, ever gonna
She was a menace
The baby of the family in Lenox
Her father whored around like all men did
Her mother took pills and played tennis
I took her pearls of wisdom
Hung them from my neck
I paid my dues with every bruise
I knew what to expect
"Thank you for the lovely bouquet
I'm married to the hustle
And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
And I'll never know another
Thank you for an unforgettable night
We will see you next time
Give it up for the band
And the dancers
And of course, Sabrina
I love you, Taylor
That's our show
