Tracy ran the till at the corner
She worked there because she knew the owner
At 8 o'clock, she'd count all the dimes
And she closed up shop at a quarter 'til nine
At the Hot Legs Lounge
She orders a beer
The main event is drawing near
In 30 more minutes you'll see
"Showgirl of the Year" nominee
River Rat Ruby at night
And she's Tracy during the day
Slowly, but surely, she put her dreams on hold
Now she spends her nights on a pole
She's got short pink hair and a butterfly tattoo
Some blue eyeshadow and Pall Mall perfume
Make your third right and then open the door
See what River Rat Ruby's got in store
River Rat Ruby at night
And she's Tracy during the day
Slowly, but surely, she put her dreams on hold
Now she spends her nights on a pole
Tracy wanted to be a doctor
But the cost really shocked her
So now she dances for tips twice a week
She makes women take notice and grown men scream
River Rat Ruby at night
And she's Tracy during the day
Slowly, but surely, she put her dreams on hold
Now she spends her nights on a pole
