Ladies and Gentlemen
let me present to you
Fifi, the lady who
sends a chill right up your spine;
not by taming tigers
not by charming snakes
not by acrobatics
got you guessing?
Well, that's fine.
Dig down in your pockets
come up with two bits
and I'll let you see a novelty
that's bound to be the hit of hits.
What does the lady do?
I heard somebody say
what does the lady do?
Well, kindly step this way.

The lady dances
she's not a Venus
or Mona Lisa,
But if she's feeling gay
she'll make you lean her way,
just like the leaning
Tower of Pisa when
the lady dances
the lady's diff'rent
and just between us,
she's no Pavlova,
but after ev'ry dance
she leaves you in a trance,
just like a female Casanova when
the lady dances
she hasn't any imitators,
Imitators state that
she has a rhythm
that's so hard to imitate
the lady's thrilling
she simply twists you
around her finger
Oooh!
When the lady's through
what does the lady do
that always makes you
want to linger
Crying for more, more, more,
just one more encore.
The lady dances like
a lady never danced before.
