I once knew a girl who had Shakespearian eyes
Hair like the wind with Casablanca tattooed down her thighs
I once knew a girl who could always utilize
Her gorgeous stare to hear mens' cries
I once knew a girl with Rodgers-like dance skills
If she saw a man she liked she'd go in for the kill
I once knew a girl who'd unwillingly thrill
You into a trance then you'd be held against your will
And as the actress takes takes the stage
We're ready now to see the play
As we turn the page of our playbills
And when the actress takes the stage
All eyes on her, all of the day
And we don't worry 'bout the strange of the fill
Until
I once saw a girl whose memorizing mesmerized me
Voice going at a thousand miles per hour, so hypnotizing
I once saw a girl who could have all the men capsizing
Down into their seats because the edge was too inciting
I once saw a girl with vampiric features
She was my one and only, what a lovely creature
I once saw a girl who said "Hey it's nice to meet ya
Excuse me for a moment as I seduce the preacher"
And as the actress takes takes the stage
We're ready now to see the play
As we turn the page of our playbills
And when the actress takes the stage
All eyes on her, all of the day
And we don't worry 'bout the strange of the fill
Until
Dance baby, dance, dance baby
Dance until you can dance no more
Dance baby, dance, dance baby
Dance until you're sore
Dance darling, dance, dance darling
Dance till your feet disintegrate
Dance darling, dance, dance darling
Dance until you know your fate
Run, run through the theater
Run right through the screen, I wanna hear you sing
And as the actress takes takes the stage
We're ready now to see the play
As we turn the page of our playbills
And when the actress takes the stage
All eyes on her, all of the day
And we don't worry 'bout the strange of the fill
Until we all get killed
