I want to be a playboy's bunny
I'd do whatever they asked me to
I'd meet people with lots of money
And men would love me like I loved you
I want to be a topless waitress
I want my mother to shed one tear
I'd throw away this old sedate dress
Slip into something a tad more shear
I want to be an artist's model
An odalisque au naturel
I should be good at spin the bottle
While I've still got something left to sell
I want to be a cobra dancer
With little willie between my thighs
I may not find a cure for cancer
But I'll meet plenty of single guys
I'd like to be a brothel worker
I've always been treated like one
If I could be a backstreet lurker
I'd make more money and have more fun
I want to be a dominatrix
Which isn't like me, but I can dream
Learn S&M and all those gay tricks
And men will pay me to make them scream
I want to be a porno starlet
For that I'll wait till mom is dead
I'd see my name in lights of scarlet
And get to spend everyday in bed
I want to be a tattooed lady
Dedicated as I am to art
Characters bold, complex, and shady
Will write my memoirs across my heart
