Chorus Girl Lyrics

From curtains up now

To intermission

You ain't much in the light

Only when the shows over

Is it the chorus line

Kick up your heels now, and get your bloomers out

Young as the night is old

Who will the baby cry for

When Sunday morning groans?

Ring in the year of the chorus girl

A waste of legs

Just to hold up his world

What's Friday night to a chorus girl?

All of your friends here

they only came for her

From Moulin Rouge to Baby Bunting

How we aged in the light

Flick the switch from loose living

To being in bed by nine

Rocking the pram at

The back of the show while he rocks out

Taking sips, staying sober

Just one more chorus now

Ring in the year of the chorus girl

A waste of legs

Just to hold up his world

What's Friday night to a chorus girl?

All of your friends here

they only came for her

Come on daddy I'm Daddy I just dancing a Polka

I'm just showing off a bit of leg

Can't we have this talk when I'm just a little older

Who says I wanna be respectable?

Well, let's see you pirouette with a bun in the oven

Or try to square a budget on a guitar string

I know you can Can-Can but darling can you do that?

You get my blessing when I see the ring

I know you want a diamond on your little girl's finger

Not some cut-glass from a post-rock freak

But Daddy when he sings, well now, I just go to pieces

Let's see him sing you back together again

Ring in the year of the… chorus girl

You got knocked up by

Some singer in a band

Now you're the song

Call in the babysitter

To take him to the show

He holds your hair while

You vomit up the one night

You get out a year

It ain't like it is a new smell

Sour milk and warm beer

Ring in the year of the chorus girl

A waste of legs

Just to hold up his world

What's Friday night to a chorus girl?

All of your friends here

they only came for her
