Testo della canzone The Strip (Laura Benanti, Jim Bracchitta, Alison Frazer & Patti LuPone & Ensemble), tratta dall'album Gypsy - 2008 Broadway Cast Recording
Wichita's, one and only burlesque theater, presents:
Mama...
Miss Gypsy Rose Lee
Gypsy Rose Louise
Let me entertain you
Let me make you smile
Sing out, Louise!
Let me do a few tricks
Some old and then some new tricks
I'm very versatile
And if you're real good
I'll make you feel good
I'd want your spirits to climb
So let me entertain you
We'll have a real good time,
Yes sir!
We'll have...
A real good time!
Do something!
Dip. Dip.
Take something off!
Momma!
A ... glove!
Give 'em a glove!
Say something!
Hello!
...everybody!
My name is Gypsy Rose Lee...
What's yours?
Sir, Mr. Conductor, if you please!
So, let me entertain you...
And we'll have a real good time, yes, sir!
We'll have...
A real good time!
The Hembrum Theater of Philadelphia...
the city of brotherly love...
brings all of you brothers
a Liberty Bell you'll want to ring and ring and ring!
Let me entertain you
Let me make you smile
I'm beginning to like this...
Oh, I like that.
I think I'll do that again.
My mother, who got me into this business,
always told me make them beg for more and then...
don't give it to them,
but I'm not my mother!
So if you beg for more,
I'll give it to ya.
And we'll have a real good...
beg.
And now, ladies and gentlemen Minsky's well famous Burlesque
takes great pride and pleasure in
presenting in her personal flesh the one and only,
the now and forever,
Miss Gypsy Rose Lee and our salute to the Garden of Eden!
Pick up your apples girls and back to the trees!
Bon soir, monsieur et monsieur!
Je m'appelle
Gypsy
Rose
Lee
Et je suis dans le jardin de ma mere et Minksy.
And that concludes my entire performance in French,
I've been too busy learning Greek
Some men accused me of being an ecdysiast
Do you know what that means?
He does
He's embarrassed!
Don't be embarrassed...
I like men without hair!
Don't worry fellas I know you're up there
and up there you know what ecdysiast means.
An ecdysiast is one who or that which
Sheds its skin in vulgar parlors: a stripper
But I'm not a stripper!
At these prices I'm an ecdysiast!
And if you're real good
I'll make you feel good
I want you spirit to climb
Let me entertain you
And well have a real good time, yes, sir!
We'll have...
A real good time!
