In Love With a Burlesque Queen

[Intro] Yeah... The lights go down low... The velvet curtain parts... You know what time it is. [Verse 1] She’s stepping through the smoke, feather fan in her hand The most dangerous woman in all the land Got that hourglass frame and the vintage lace And a look of mystery written on her face She’s peeling off the satin, one finger at a time The way she moves her hips, girl it oughta be a crime She’s got the whole room frozen, caught in the glare Of the spotlight shining on her raven hair. [Chorus] I’m in love with a burlesque queen She’s the finest thing that I’ve ever seen She’s got her tassels spinning, she’s got the crowd in a daze I’m lost inside the rhythm of her seductive ways She’s a high-class tease, a midnight dream And I’m in love with a burlesque queen. [Verse 2] I’m sitting front row, glass of bourbon in my grip Watching every velvet move, every sway of the hip She’s got the red lipstick and the diamond spark Lighting up the corners of this room so dark She dropped a single glove, and she looked me in the eye If I could take her home, man, I think that I would die But she belongs to the stage, to the cheers and the heat She’s the rhythm of the city, she’s the pulse of the street. [Saxophone Solo] [Bridge] She’s got the corset tied tight (so tight) Performing under the neon light (the light) She’s the art of the reveal, she’s the realest thing I feel The way she teases the crowd, girl, you know it’s a big deal. [Chorus] I’m in love with a burlesque queen She’s the finest thing that I’ve ever seen She’s got her tassels spinning, she’s got the crowd in a daze I’m lost inside the rhythm of her seductive ways She’s a high-class tease, a midnight dream And I’m in love with a burlesque queen. [Outro] Yeah... She's a masterpiece... Put it on my tab... Burlesque queen...
