The Strip - Louise

Gypsy

The Strip

The Wichita, one and only burlesque theater, presents

Miss Gypsy Rose Lee

Gypsy

Let me entertain you

Let me make you smile

Momma Rose

Sing out, Louise!

Gypsy

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 spirit to climb

So let me entertain you

We’ll have a real good time,

Yes sir!

We’ll have…

A real good time!

Theater Manager

Do something!

Momma Rose

Yeah!

Theater Manager

Take something off!

Gypsy

Momma!

Momma Rose

A … glove!

But say something!

Gypsy

Hello!

Hello… everybody!

My name is Gypsy Rose Lee… What’s yours!

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!

And now, Minsky’s well famous Burlesque

Presents the queen of the strip-tease, the incomparable,

Miss Gypsy Rose Lee and our salutes to the Garden of Eden!

Gypsy

Pick up your apples girls and back to the trees!

Bon soir, monsieur et monsieur!

Je m’appelle Gypsy Rose Lee

And that concludes my entire performance in French,

I’ve been too busy learning Greek

Where were you last night?

Some men accused me of being an enthusiast

Do you know what that means?

Do you?

Do you?

Oh, you do!

Aha!

He’s embarrassed!

Don’t be embarrassed… I like man without hair!

An enthusiast is one who or that which

Sheds its skin in vulgar paroles: a stripper

But I’m not a stripper!

At these prices I’m an enthusiast!

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!
