The Can-Can can’t go on!

The Folies Bergere in Las Vegas
A mainstay since late ‘59
The one with the fabulous dresses
They flip up to show their behind
Its’ the one with the towering headdresses
Where they kick up their legs so high
The stereotype of the showgirl
The one where men stare and sigh
They’re calling it quits in Las Vegas
After 29,000 shows
It’s a victim of the recession
And the cost of those fabulous clothes
The legs will no longer be lifted
The headdresses no longer stand proud
The current thing skimpy in Vegas
It seems is the size of the crowd
So for 50 years in Vegas
The Folies Bergere’s gone on strong
But come April 09 in Vegas
The Can-Can can’t go on!
