Lyrics

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
I guarantee ruthless
Puts you on the marquee... ruthless
They're notoriously ruthless
Those who have a career, dearie
Being sweet and affectionate
Only leads to rejection, it
Never wins you a Tony award
Lord you've helped me
Find my niche
Thanks to talent I'm nouveau riche
You're a bitch with a Gucci leash!
I'm flying high and adored
We... ruthless!
Granny, Mommy, and me... Ruthless!
Take a tip from us three ruthless
Ladies singing this song
Can the compassion
The fashion is ruthless
Whether you're young
Or you're grey haired and toothless
The key to success is
(LITA MISS THORN, and EVE, wearing Ginger's
Stained cocktail dress, dance on.)
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
A low cut dress might impress
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
