Madame Coquette
Tape Five Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She came from charleston, she's doing the toot-toot,
She was fantastic, she was elastic!
Like summer holiday, living from day to day.
She was young, she had a dream: A famous ritzy dancing queen!

A big baloney, a cool tomato!
Tuxedo junctions, a real big spender! A real big spender, a real big spender…
Red lights were flashing, champagne was floating,
Her animation, a new sensation!




Like summer holiday, living from day to day.
She was young, she had a dream: A famous ritzy dancing queen!
