He's a gigolo, coming in for some tigia
Monsieur Figaro isn't one who loses when he's had
He's a lover boy hoping a man he will become
She'll take him or destroy all his miles of chicken run
She takes good care of the fair in this land of despair and its starvation
and its her job and it's got all the rules and the rocks of the vie-riche
And she enjoys all the toys which make boys very coy and they're terrified
She is the nurse to the need when she pleads for seed that always died
for seed that always died, for seed that always died.
Instrumental
verse 2
She calls him Cherie as she smiles at his pince-nez
Burlesque is the scene where the pleasures come from props, no less
Mirror on the wall, becoming a big white screen
Give some some video of a love that must be seen
