lyrics

She’s a Pro (Beaumont/Belsha/Spangenberg/Tanzilo)

She don’t come cheap with the chump change
Don’t dump on that dame – are you deranged?
She don’t want to love the man until he get old and die
The man is quaking in his suit and his powerful tie

She looks him in the eye
and he’ll day down and die
So long, baby, goodbye
The man is quaking, shaking, baking

‘cause she’s a pro, she’s appropos
She’s a pro – don’t you know? – she got the flow – you gotta go
She’s a pro – she swing solo
She’s no po-mo give-and-go, she’s no hit-the-floor-really-doe quickie ho’, Joe

Takes no shorts no more
She’s a P-R-O
She bat eyelashes and the big guy crashes
his knife upon the plate – his life – it flashes

She says, “The sun is sinking in the sky,
so let’s dance and do the dog and then goodbye”
The man is loosening his tie
His roving eye

‘cause she’s a pro, she swing solo
She’s no po-mo give-and-go, she’s no hit-the-floor-really-doe quickie ho’, Joe
Takes no shorts no mo’, she’s apropos
She’s a a pro – act like you know – she got to Go! Go! Go!

Get hip, take a trip, and catch the swinging door
She don’t need you when she have piano
Bless your soul when you go below
On your marks, men, get set, go
