Downtown where a burlesque queen

May even ask my name 
       Am 
As she sheds her skin on stage 
    G                        F 
I'm seated and sweating to a dance
 song

On the club's P.A 
                                     
The strip joint veteran sits two away
 G 
 
The strip joint veteran sits two away 
                      F 
Smirking between dignified sips of
 his dignified 
Smirking between dignified sips of his dignified
