In a jazzy style and power vocals Christina Aguilera sings Burlesque in a way that is distinctly her own. Even though this is called Burlesque this is no typical pole dancing song.

The Burlesque lyrics are about sexual power that many women feel on a smaller scale and only a few feel on a large scale. The line about “They know I got that certain savoir faire” reminded me of Pepe Le Pew but otherwise these stinkin’ lyrics are actually pretty decent.

Burlesque Lyrics

It’s a cold and crazy world that’s ragin’ outside
Well baby me and all my girls are bringin’ on the fire
Show a little leg, gotta shimmy your chest
It’s a life, it’s a style, it’s a need, it’s burlesque

E-X-P-R-E-S-S.
Love, sex, ladies no regrets
E-X-P-R-E-S-S.
Love, sex, ladies no regrets

Been holding down for quite some time
And finally the moment’s right
I love to make the people stare
They know I got that certain savoir faire

Fasten up, can you imagine what would happen if I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy, you’ll never want to leave, baby let’s give it to you
(Why?)

It’s a passion, and emotion, it’s a fashion, burlesque
It’ll move, goin’ through you, so do what I do, burlesque
All ladies come put your grown up, boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It’s burlesque.

I tease ‘em ’til they’re on the edge
They screamin’ more for more and more they beg
I know it’s me they come to see
My pleasure brings them to their knees

Fasten up, can you imagine what would happen if I let you close enough to touch?
Step into the fantasy, you’ll never want to leave, baby let’s give it to you
(Why?)

It’s a passion, and emotion, it’s a fashion, burlesque
It’ll move, goin’ through you, so do what I do, burlesque
All ladies come put your grown up, boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It’s burlesque.

It’s a passion, and emotion, it’s a fashion, burlesque
It’ll move, goin’ through you, so do what I do, burlesque
All ladies come put your grown up, boys throw it up if you want it
Can you feel me, can you feel it? It’s burlesque.
