Sing out, Louise
Let me do a few tricks
Some old and then some new tricks

And if you're real good
I'll make you feel good
I'd want your spirits to climb
So let me entertain you
And we'll have a real good time
Yes sir, we'll have a real good time
Do something, yeah, yeah
Take something off, momma
A glove, give him a glove, say something

Yes sir, we'll have a real good time
The Alhambra theater of Philadelphia

Brings all you brothers
A liberty bell you'll want to ring and ring and ring
Let me entertain you
Let me make you smile
I'm beginning to like this
Ooh, I like that, I think I'll do that again
My mother, who got me into this business
Always told me, ‽Make them beg for more
And then don't give it to them”
But I'm not my mother
So if you beg for more
I'll give it to you
And we'll have a real good
And now ladies and gentlemen

And that concludes my entire performance in French
I've been too busy learning Greek
Some men accused me of being an ecdysiast
Do you know what that means? Ah he does
He's embarrassed, don't be embarrassed
I like man without hair
Don't worry, fellas, I know you're up there, up there
You know what ecdysiast means
An ecdysiast is one who or that which
Sheds its skin in vulgar parlams, a stripper
Huh, but I'm not a stripper
At these prices I'm an ecdysiast
And if you're real good I'll make you feel good
I want you spirit to climb
Let me entertain you
And well have a real good time
Yes sir, we'll have a real good time
