[Verse 1]
G Her name was Kitty Am Made her money being pretty and witty F G They gave her the keys to this city Am F Then they said she didn't do it legitly G I bought a ticket Am She’s dancing in her garters and fishnets F G Fifty in the cast, zero missteps Am F Looking back I guess it was kismet
[Pre-Chorus]
G Am I waited by the stage door packed in with the autograph hounds F G Barking her name then glowing like the end of a cigarette, (wow) she came out Am F I said, "You'rе living my dream." D Then she said to mе
[Chorus]
G "Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet F You're sweeter than a peach G Em F But you don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe C And you're never, ever gonna G Am Wait, the more you play the more that you pay F You're softer than a kitten so G Em F You don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe C And you're never gonna wanna"
[Verse 2]

G G7 I took her pearls of wisdom C Hung them from my neck Cm7 I paid my dues with every bruise G I knew what to expect G7 C Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins? Cm7 They ripped me off like false lashes G And then threw me away G7 C And all the headshots on the walls Cm7 G Of the dance hall are of the bitches G7 C Cm7 Who wish I'd hurry up and die Cm But I'm immortal now, baby dolls D I couldn't if I tried, so I say
[Chorus]
G Am So I say "Thank you for the lovely bouquet F I’m married to the hustle G Am And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe F And I'll never know another G Am Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace F G Am Sequins are forever and now I know the life of a showgirl, babe F G Wouldn't have it any other way" Am Thank you for the lovely bouquet F G Wouldn't have it any other way Am F Thank you for the lovely bouquet G Am Hey Kitty, (thank you for the lovely bouquet) F G Now I make my money being pretty and witty Am F Thank you for the lovely bouquet G Am Thank you for an unforgettable night F G We will see you next time Am Give it up for the band F And the dancers G And of course, Sabrina Am I love you, Taylor! F That’s our show, we love you so much G Am F Goodnight!
