Lyrics
Her name was Kitty
– Nom Du Chat
Made her money being pretty and witty
– Pecuniam suam satis et facetam fecit
They gave her the keys to this city
– Illi claves ad hanc urbem dederunt
Then they said she didn’t do it legitly, oh
– Et dixit: non legistis, o
I bought a ticket
– Aliquam emit
She’s dancing in her garters and fishnets
– In his est et illud de perseverantia de qua disputamus
Fifty in the cast, zero missteps
– Quinquaginta in cast, nullus fallaciis
Looking back, I guess it was kismet
– Vultus tergum, ego coniecto erat kismet
I waited by the stage door, packed in with the autograph hounds
– Exspectavi per ostium scaenae, canibus autographis refertum
Barking her name, then glowing like the end of a cigarette, wow, she came out
– Nomen eius latrans, deinde candentis sicut finis cigarette, latro, exivit
I said, “You’re living my dream”
– Dixi, ” somnium meum vivis”
Then she said to me
– Et dixit ad me
“Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
– “Heus, gratias ago tibi, quia pulchra flos
You’re sweeter than a peach
– Dulcior es quam persicus
But you don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe
– Sed tu scis quod nihil scis, puella, babe
And you’re never, ever gonna
– Et tu numquam, umquam agnus dei
Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
– Exspecta, eo magis ludere, eo magis quod reddere
You’re softer than a kitten, so
– Mollior es quam catulus, sic
You don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe
– Nescio an bene id exprimi, puella
And you’re never gonna wanna”
– Et tu nunquam wanna agnus dei”
She was a menace
– Erat atrox
The baby of the family in Lenox
– Le nouveau Petit robert sub voce
Her father whored around like all men did
– Pater eius fornicatus est circa omnes homines sicut fecit
Her mother took pills and played tennis
– Mater eius pilulas accepit et tennis lusit
So she waited by the stage door as the club promoter arrived
– Ita expectavit ostium scaenae sicut clava promotor pervenit
She said, “I’d sell my soul to have a taste of a magnificent life that’s all mine”
– Et dixit: ” vendere vellem habere saporem animae meae a magnifico quod suus omnes vitae meae”
But that’s not what showgirls get
– Sed quod suus non quod showgirls adepto
They leave us for dead
– Et relinquam nos mortuos
Hey, thank you for the lovely bouquet
– Grazie mille a tutti e due per le risposte
You’re sweeter than a peach
– Dulcior es quam persicus
But you don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe
– Sed tu scis quod nihil scis, puella, babe
And you’re never, ever gonna
– Et tu numquam, umquam agnus dei
Wait, the more you play, the more that you pay
– Exspecta, eo magis ludere, eo magis quod reddere
You’re softer than a kitten, so
– Mollior es quam catulus, sic
You don’t know the life of a showgirl, babe
– Nescio an bene id exprimi, puella
And you’re never gonna wanna
– Et numquam amet velit
I took her pearls of wisdom, hung them from my neck
– Et tuli margaritas eius sapientiae suspendi eas de collo meo
I paid my dues with every bruise, I knew what to expect
– Ego meam solvit dues cum omni livore, sciebam quid expecto
Do you wanna take a skate on the ice inside my veins?
– Tu nullam in glaciem accipere vis intra venas meas?
They ripped me off like false lashes and then threw me away
– Et me alias tanto honore [honorasti] postmodum, et damna maxima intulisti.
And all the headshots on the walls
– Et omnes capita super muros
Of the dance hall are of the bitches
– Suscipere tanti putes
Who wish I’d hurry up and die
– Qui quia expedita et est
But I’m immortal now, baby dolls
– In eis quae manifesta sunt immoremur, infans dolls
I couldn’t if I tried
– Non potuisse probare se
So I say
– Dici
“Thank you for the lovely bouquet
– “Gratias tibi ago pro flos pulchra
I’m married to the hustle
– Ego autem duxit ad agitando
And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
– Et nunc scio vitam showgirl, babe
And I’ll never know another
– Et numquam scire aliud
Pain hidden by the lipstick and lace (Lipstick and lace)
– Dolor absconditus lipstick et vitta (Lipstick et vitta)
Sequins are forever
– Quia non pro-icit ad meritum ” itae aeternae.
And now I know the life of a showgirl, babe
– Et nunc scio vitam showgirl, babe
Wouldn’t have it any other way” (Wouldn’t have it any other way)
– Et non habens in ore suo redargutiones [un peu plus haut:]
(Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
– (Gratias ago tibi, quia pulchra flos)
Oh, wouldn’t have it any other way
– Non excludo tamen alios modos
(Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
– (Gratias ago tibi, quia pulchra flos)
Hey, Kitty
– Thomae, Kitty
(Thank you for the lovely bouquet)
– (Gratias ago tibi, quia pulchra flos)
Now I make my money being pretty and witty
– Nunc pecuniam meam pulchram et facetam facio
Thank you for the lovely bouquet
– Gratias tibi ago pro flos pulchra
Thank you for an unforgettable night
– Gratias tibi ago ob memoriam noctis
We will see you next time
– Proximo tempore te videbimus
Give it up for the band
– Da eam pro cohorte
And the dancers
– Ludus como danzar
And of course, Sabrina
– Et de sabrino
I love you, Taylor
– Amo te, Taylor
That’s our show
– Quod spectaculum nostrum
We love you so much
– Aun te amo mucho
Goodnight
– Goodnight
