[Verse]
Lili in the shadows a shimmering light
Mocambo stage burning owning the night
Whispers of beauty a spark that won't fade
Lessons of allure the role she played
[Verse 2]
Silk gloves and diamonds a wink in her eye
Feet tap the rhythm hearts take to the sky
Marilyn watched caught in her flame
Following closely the rise of her name
[Chorus]
Enchantress at dawn
Queen of the show
Velvet and smoke
Her legend would grow
The world stood still when she held her pose
A siren of dreams
Mystery she chose
[Verse 3]
Orson with his pen a story untold
Drawn to her magic her power of gold
She turned the ordinary into the divine
A gypsy of grace on a smooth sultry line
[Bridge]
Here’s to the nights where glamour's alive
Lili’s spirit shows us how to survive
Perfume on the wind
Indelible trace
Still leaves us breathless this enchanting embrace
[Verse 4]
She danced with the moon wore stars in her hair
Each move inviting hearts unaware
The Mocambo lit up her name it would gleam
A timeless siren a burlesque queen's dream |
