The idea of a guitar riff in...
[Intro]
Hey, it's a sellout!
Hey!
[Verse 1]
Let me welcome you ladies and gentlemen
I would like to say hello
Are you ready for some entertainment?
Are you ready for a show?
Gonna rock you, gonna roll you
Get you dancing in the aisles
Jazz you, razzamatazz you
With a little bit of style, c'mon
[Chorus]
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
[Lyrical Break]
I've come here to sell you my body
I can show you some good merchandise
I'll pull you and I'll pill you
I'll Cruella DeVille you
And to thrill you, I'll use any device
Ah, ha ha ha ha
[Bridge]
We'll give you crazy performance
We'll give you grounds for divorce
We'll give you piece de resistance
And a tour de force, of course!
[Verse 2]
We found the right location
Got a lot of pretty lights
The sound and amplification, listen
Hey, if you need a fix, if you want a high
Stickells'll see to that
With Elektra and EMI
We'll show you where it's at, so c'mon
[Chorus]
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Just take a look at the menu
We give you rock a la carte
We'll breakfast at Tiffany's
We'll sing to you in Japanese
We're only here to entertain you
[Verse 3]
If you wanna see some action
You get nothing but the best
The S and M attraction
We've got the pleasure chest
Chicago down to New Orleans
We get you on the line
If you dig the New York scene
We'll have a son-of-a-bitch-of-a-time, come on
[Outro]
Let me entertain
Let me entertain
Let me entertain you
Through the night
Hey, where's my backstage pass?
Those grateful and outrageous costumes!
(Not many, not many...)
