Anyone seen the old movie or Broadway musical called Gypsy – all about old time burlesque – here are some lyrics from one of its songs …
Do something special
Anything special
And you’ll get better because…
You’re more than just a mimic
When you gotta gimmick
Take a look how different we are!
If you wanna make it,
Twinkle while you shake it.
If you wanna grind it,
Wait till you’ve refined it.
If you wanna stump it,
Bump it with a trumpet!
So get yourself a gimmick and you, too,
Can be a star!
