Lyrics > The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – Showgirl Pts 1 & 2

I fought a revolution ten years ago
Against your ass
Long hair
AM, wake up
There was so much blood
I had a nick name [unknown]
Electronics could not function
Pick up too

Too much blood, caked down
There was so much blood
Imagine that

So many reasons
Why don’t you give it up?
I got that juicey juice

You know me
I go to work
[You know me]
That’s the sweat
[I go to work]
I met your boss
[That’s the sweat]
And he ain’t shit
[I met your boss]
That’s the sweat
He ain’t shit
There’s no joy in what they do
It’s a business
[There’s no joy in what they do]
Have a career in misery
[It’s a business]
[Have a career in misery]
Want to do it like Cobain
Front of all the magazines
[Want to do it like Cobain]
[Front of all the magazines]
Signify, it’s ’94, fuck, I ain’t going out like that
[Fuck, I ain’t going out like that]
I was a doorman
24 hours making a wet dream
Wake up
Wake up
[Wake up]
[Wake up]

I’ve got to slow down
Baby, I’m gonna make the jump
Get out of the ghetto
Don’t you give it up
I’m gonna move up town
Come on, take your turn
Everybody asking me for a date
Shucks

Have you ever
Taken a walk down town?

California
Showgirl!
[California]
Come on

Hold down, why don’t you tell me
C’mon talk about
I’m a cowgirl
‘Cause I’m gonna ride my pony
And I’m a nightmare
Can I get an A., A.M.?
And a communist too?

Who the fuck is trying take my man?
[Who the fuck is trying take my man?]
I don’t give a damn
Better hold a [unknown]
Sexy, sexy, sexy kind of a mama
Right off a union daughter
[Right off a union daughter]
Yeah
Everybody asking me for a date
Hey showgirl!
Everybody asking me for a date
Hey showgirl!
Everybody asking me for a date
Hey showgirl!
Yeah
Yeah
Hey showgirl!
[Yeah]
[Yeah]
