Ruthless!

Lyrics

[GINGER] I remember the night When I won my first Tony I thanked my producers Purina and Sony I thanked my director My hairdresser, Paul I thanked all the people Both little and small And assure you the tears that I dabbed Were not for the backs that I stabbed Be ruthless! Take a gander at me, ruthless! Unconditionally ruthless That's the game you must play To hit the heights [SYLVIA] I guarantee ruthless Puts you on the marquee... ruthless They're notoriously ruthless [SYLVIA and GINGER] Those who havе a career, dearie [TINA] Being sweet and affеctionate Only leads to rejection, it Never wins you a Tony award [GINGER] Lord you've helped me Find my niche Thanks to talent I'm nouveau riche [SYLVIA and TINA] You're a bitch with a Gucci leash! [GINGER] I'm flying high and adored [ALL THREE] We... ruthless! [TINA] Granny, Mommy, and me... Ruthless! [ALL THREE] Take a tip from us three ruthless Ladies singing this song Can the compassion The fashion is ruthless [GINGER] Whether you're young [TINA] Or you're grey haired and toothless [ALL THREE] The key to success is (LITA MISS THORN, and EVE, wearing Ginger's Stained cocktail dress, dance on.) [FULL CAST] To be talented, yes! But talented fail You better be ready to fight tooth and nail Sharp as a tack Tough as a cop Eager to claw your way Straight to the top You can't take the heat? Get offa the bus You wanna be famous then listen to us 'Cause... we ruthless! Look around and you'll see ruthless Don't you know that to be ruthless In itself is an art? So if you're smart you'll Can the compassion The fashion is ruthless Whether you're young Or gray-haired and toothless: The key to success is Ruthlessness [GINGER] A low cut dress might impress [ALL] But to get the gig You gotta have big Ruthlessness! The key to success is Ruthlessness Neh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-eh-ess
