Have You Ever Met A Can-Can Girl?

She'd flip her skirt

in a flirty fashion

the edge with lace

just for the occasion

shoes tap-a-tap-a-tap

dark eyes a smilin

come be with me

just for the night

the can-can of love

for the won't-won't boy

just for one night

be my can-can toy

she smiled again

this time with demand

skirt rustled high up

in a flurry of can-can

eagerly she leans

toward his blushing cheek

as he finally looks up

and gives a can-can nod

    takin their quarters, playin

    so Kels and I could dance.

    love the poem. a theme i have often explored. i have only found 1 burlesque show ever, and it was old school strippers (bubbles, fans and nipple tassels) instead of the "Moulon Rouge" type shows, is the can can still performed anywhere?
