Female Trouble - Freakish Nightclub Act by John Waters Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 1974

Thank you! I love you! Thank you! Thank you from the bottom of my black little heart! You came here for some excitement tonight and that's just what you're going to get! Take a good look at ME because I'm going to be on the front of every newspaper in this country tomorrow! You're looking at crime personified AND DON'T YOU FORGET IT! I framed Leslie Bacon! I called the heroin hot line on Abby Hoffman! I bought the gun that Bremmer used to shoot Wallace! I had an affair with Juan Corona! I blew Richard Speck! And I'm so fuckin' beautiful I can't stand it myself! (She shot her gun into the air) Now, everybody freeze! (She pointed the gun at the audience) Who wants to be famous? Who wants to DIE for art?!

(When an audience member lept up and replied: "I do!", she shot him, and when the audience fled, she continued to fire on them maniacally.)
