[Verse 1] She steps right up to the velvet stage A dame straight out of a yellowed page With a feathered fan and a wicked wink She’s got the whole room hanging on the brink The piano rolls in a minor key A smoky haze where the shadows play hide and seek [Chorus] Oh, Mimzy, won't you spin around? The finest show in this rundown town With a flick of the wrist and a wicked smile You can trick the devil and stay awhile Oh, Mimzy, let the curtain fall You’re the brightest star in the whole damn hall [Verse 2] She tells her secrets to the chandelier Whispering stories that no one should hear Of gangsters, gamblers, and broken hearts Tear 'em all up and then play your parts The brass horn wails and the drums go low She's running the whole damn midnight show [Chorus] Oh, Mimzy, won't you spin around? The finest show in this rundown town With a flick of the wrist and a wicked smile You can trick the devil and stay awhile Oh, Mimzy, let the curtain fall You’re the brightest star in the whole damn hall [Bridge] And when the lights start to fade to gray She packs her bags and she walks away Leaving a trail of the sweet perfume And a ghost of jazz in an empty room [Outro] Yeah, Mimzy's gone... Into the night... Just a flash of red... And a soft blue light... [Fade to silence]
