lyrics

My Work Shoes
(aka - The Piano Player is a Tramp)

Three inch heels are not my idea of heaven...
But I get paid to wear them at work.

What do weekend evenings mean to you?
Probably relaxation.
What do weekend evenings mean to me?
Time to go to work!

Put on the make-up, put on the costume,
Put on the fish-net tights,
It's time for dancing, it's time for music,
It's time to light the lights!

I thought I might count how many shows
That I have done in this role.
Let's just say I've done it since the year
1999.

Put on the make-up, put on the costume,
Put on the fish-net tights,
It's time for dancing, it's time for music,
It's time to light the lights!

I've been flirtatious in Fort Lauderdale.
I've misbehaved in Miami.
I've been disreputable in Dallas,
Naughty in New Orleans,
And I've been tawdry in Tokyo!

You might think this sounds quite glamorous,
Some days it feels like torture.
Really I am grateful for this job,
I get to play for pay.

Put on the make-up, put on the costume,
Put on the fish-net tights,
Play some music, sing some love songs,
Have a cat-fight, play more music,
All in the guise of a vamp.
Because the piano player is a tramp!
