Mambo, the mood of Edmundo
The Samba it ain't no big deal
Broadway, my hat-and-cane forte
Relies on the speed of your heel
But it's a cruel mean old world
Of the true Moulin Rouge pearls
When somebody's hustlin' you
Right off the stage
You'd never be so dumb as to say
I wouldn't say
Ginger, to imitate Ginger
Now is my sole ambition to date
Blair I could never have faced
But it's a cruel mean old world
Of the true Moulin Rouge pearls
When somebody's hustlin' you
Right off the stage
You'd never be so dumb as to say
I wouldn't say
Dancer, I'm an old-fashioned dancer
' I'll be checking you out in the wings
Lady, my poor leading lady
Now is trying so hard to be slim
But it's a cruel mean old world
Of the true Moulin Rouge pearls
When somebody's hustlin' you
Right off the stage
You'd never be so dumb as to say
I wouldn't say
