Turn the Tables

V6

[Intro: Disco-diva female lead, full-throated over the octave bass] Papers signed on Tuesday Party Saturday [Verse 1: Disco-diva female lead, glittering, four-on-the-floor] Rented out the Crystal Room with mirrors on the wall Gold dress, gold shoes, I threw myself a ball Cake that says Single Again in frosting on the top Forty of my girls and a few who couldn't stop Then the man in the booth pulls his headphones down It's Marvin, my ex, the worst booking in town Called himself Mister Groove on the planner's sheet Now he's playin' every slow song we had on repeat [Pre-Chorus: Disco-diva female lead, rising] Our first dance, our wedding song, the one from the car Girls are cryin' in the corner, I'm alone at the bar He thinks he's got me beat with a sad little tune Honey, I been savin' up a crate since June [Chorus: Disco-diva female lead, full-throated, octave bass] Watch me turn the tables Spin it 'round on you You played me like a record, now I'm playin' you Watch me turn the tables Every slow song that you saved I'm gonna speed it up and make it mine You had your night, you had your say Watch me turn the tables [Verse 2: Disco-diva female lead, commanding, wah guitar] I walk up in my heels and I unplug his phone Slide him off the stool, say, "Baby, you can go home" Got a crate of my own that I took in the split Every record he loved, every single hit Needle on the one that he never let me play Forty women on the floor and Marvin backs away Bouncer is my cousin Ray and Ray don't play Marvin's by the coat rack and he's on his way [Pre-Chorus: Disco-diva female lead, rising] Our first dance, our wedding song, the one from the car Now the girls are on the tables and they're dancin' at the bar He thought he had me beat with a sad little tune Honey, I been savin' up a crate since June [Chorus: Disco-diva female lead, full-throated, octave bass] Watch me turn the tables Spin it 'round on you You played me like a record, now I'm playin' you Watch me turn the tables Every slow song that you saved I'm gonna speed it up and make it mine You had your night, you had your say Watch me turn the tables [Bridge: Disco-diva female lead, glissando to the top, each line sliding higher] Higher than the mirror ball Higher than the rent you never paid at all Higher than the lies you told me in the hall Higher, higher, watch me take it all [Final Chorus: Disco-diva female lead, full-throated, hi-hats flying] Watch me turn the tables Spin it 'round on you You played me like a record, now I'm playin' you Watch me turn the tables Every slow song that you saved I'm gonna speed it up and make it mine You had your night, you had your say Watch me turn the tables [End]
