Turn It Out
[Intro]
Yeow!
Mmmm woah aah
Mmmm woah ahhh
Mmmmm woah ahh
Ahhhhhhh

[Verse 1]
Another town, another place
A little Maybelline to spread on my face, well
Lace underwear, a tube of Nair
Make up my eyes and I'll tease out my hair, yeah
Polish my pumps and I'll put on some hose
Press up my clothes, yeah, I'll need two of those, mmhmm
It makes me feel so mighty real
Run in my stockings, hey, it ain't no big deal

[Chorus]
Turn it out, you've got to turn it out
Turn it out, you've got to work it out
Turn it out, you've got to turn it out
Turn it out, you've got to work it out

[Verse 2]
Press on some nails and attend to details
Put on my lips maybe take down my hips, well
I'm looking lovely, baby, catch my effect
Give me attention, give me lots of respect, yeah
Shine up the runway, while I powder my nose
Turn on the spotlight, gonna strike up a pose, well
Such savoir faire, more derriere
I'll give you attitude and nothing compares
[Chorus]
Turn it out, you've got to turn it out
Turn it out, you've got to work it out
Turn it out, you've got to turn it out
Turn it out, you've got to work it out

Turn it out
Why don't ya?
You've go to turn it out
Why don't ya?
Mama's gonna percolate ya
Got the moves to stimulate ya
Turn it out
Why don't ya?
You've go to turn it out
Yeah
Lookin' like a luminary
Extraordinary
Sing it!

[Verse 3]
Shine up the runway while I powder my nose
Turn on the spotlight, gonna strike up a pose
It makes me feel so mighty real
I'll turn you out when I turn on my heel, yeah
[Chorus]
Turn it out, you've got to turn it out
Turn it out, you've got to work it out
Show 'em what you know, baby
Turn it out, you've got to turn it out
We'll give you glamour, baby, without a doubt

Turn it out, you've got to turn it out
We're gonna show you just what fashion's about, well
Turn it out, you've got to turn it out
Why don't you
Mama's gonna percolate ya
Got the moves to stimulate ya

Turn it out, you've got to turn it out
Walk, talk, style, smile, feel real, sex appeal
Turn it out, you've got to turn it out
The girls are gonna educate ya
Got the moves to stimulate ya

Turn it out, you've got to turn it out
Lookin' like a luminary
Extraordinary
Sing it!

[Outro]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, listen up here, Poo Poo
I'm tellin' you children, I'm looking too fierce
My hair's melted
My gown is drenched, honey
My pumps are broken
My lashes are falling off my face
My nails are cracking 'cause I was frying some chicken and lost my nails in the chicken pot
My mascara is drippin' all down my face
I'm tired, honey but let me tell you somethin'
Ms. Thing will carry on 'cause I'm a true diva
So don't you even go there with me
Just stay where you are and
Turn
It
Out
