Remember Gypsy Rose Lee?
Oh! I know how she felt
as you introduced me to her
when I wasnt looking,
as I removed my inhibitions
when I looked into your eyes.

I can hear that music now
da da daaaaa ....da da da daaaaa
da da daaaaa.....da da da daaaaa

The twin inside of me
took over the burlesque
stage of your eyes.

What a life she must of had,
being every mans fantasy;

While only you
can melt the Gypsy Rose in me.

Yes indeed, I remember Gypsy. And you are right, she was every man's fantasy. Died much too young. You, however, have the honor, Victoria, of being able to melt the heart of the one man in your life. I have a feeling that is much more rewarding that the other way around.

Used to have that icon on my computer years ago when I worked ... loved it then and still.

Grew up in New Orleans, and mom was a barmaid in several places on Bourbon St. (50's,) and you want to know about "strippers", honey, I was in my mid-teens and saw them all (it all) and met most!

Impressionable, yeah!! You bet!

Wouldn't trade a minute of it either. Good memories, and I knew the Quarter when it was still the Quarter - not this thing of today.

Cool piece.
