Lyrics
[Verse 1 - Bouncy and confident]
Got a dresser drawer full of satin and lace
Red lipstick waiting in its special place
When the sun goes down and the day is done
That's when my other wardrobe has its fun
Silk stockings, garter clips, and bows galore
A catalogue of dreams spread across my floor
I may wear pencil skirts from nine to five
But after hours, baby, I come alive!
[Pre-Chorus - Building excitement]
Mirror, mirror, don't you know
I put on quite a little show
For myself, for you, for anyone who's ready
To appreciate a girl who's always steady in her—
[Chorus - Big and brassy]
Vintage nights! (Ooh la la!)
When I slip into something nice! (Ooh la la!)
Red corset tight, feeling dynamite
Pin-up queen under bedroom lights!
Vintage nights! (Yeah yeah yeah!)
Every ruffle, every bow feels right! (Yeah yeah yeah!)
I'm a bombshell, can't you tell?
Retro glamour casts a spell on my vintage nights!
(Horn section punctuation)
My vintage nights!
[Verse 2 - Playful and cheeky]
Got a negligee from nineteen fifty-three
Baby doll pajamas pink as can be
Bullet bra that gives me movie star appeal
High-waisted panties, honey, this is real!
Betty Grable poster hanging on my wall
She knew confidence was wearing nothing much at all
Well, almost nothing—that's the key, you see
A lady leaves a little mystery!
[Pre-Chorus - More energetic]
Heels click-clacking 'cross the floor
Who says comfort's what I'm dressing for?
Tonight I'm channeling Marilyn, Bettie, and Dita
Nobody does it better than a vintage señorita in her—
[Chorus - Full energy]
Vintage nights! (Ooh la la!)
When I slip into something nice! (Ooh la la!)
Red corset tight, feeling dynamite
Pin-up queen under bedroom lights!
Vintage nights! (Yeah yeah yeah!)
Every ruffle, every bow feels right! (Yeah yeah yeah!)
I'm a bombshell, can't you tell?
Retro glamour casts a spell on my vintage nights!
(Horn hits)
Oh, my vintage nights!
[Bridge - Sassy spoken section with music]
(Music strips to just piano and bass)
Now let me tell you something, darling
(Finger snap)
Modern fashion's got its place
But there's nothing quite like the way
A good corset hugs you in all the right ways
(Building back up)
So I collect 'em! (Yeah!)
Wear 'em! (Yeah!)
Celebrate 'em! (Yeah!)
'Cause a girl who knows her worth
Knows vintage was invented first!
(Horn section crescendo)
Hit it!
[Dance Break - Instrumental]
(Piano solo - boogie-woogie style)
(Brass section answers)
(Handclaps and "Hey! Hey! Hey!")
(Full band swing)
[Final Chorus - Most celebratory]
Vintage nights! (Ooh la la!)
When I slip into something nice! (Ooh la la!)
Red corset tight, feeling dynamite
Pin-up queen under bedroom lights!
Vintage nights! (Yeah yeah yeah!)
Every ruffle, every bow feels right! (Yeah yeah yeah!)
I'm a bombshell, can't you tell?
Retro glamour casts a spell—
(Break - just handclaps)
Vintage! (clap clap)
Vintage! (clap clap)
Vintage nights! (ALL IN)
[Outro - Big finish]
I'm talking fishnet stockings and vintage bliss!
Champagne bubble bath and a goodnight kiss!
Feather trim and satin slides!
Living my best life on my vintage nights!
