Once upon a time,
Gotham was gritty yet glamourous;
The town was painted blood red,
And its night owls were fabulous.
The scene was disco and punk,
During those decadent years.
Everyone felt sexy and drunk --
T'was the seventies, my dears.
Debbie Harry enthralled and sang of Rapture
And legend recounts what the lens couldn't capture.
Bianca wed Mick who then seduced Jerry,
So shortly thereafter, she left Bryan Ferry.
Grace Jones and Warhol were permanent fixtures
In nightclubs where they soaked up the fame from their pictures.
They say Halston and Liza and Truman Capote
Did A-Z drugs, like Valium and peyote.
In the midst of all that debaucherous hoopla
Was born a coquette to whom they cooed "Ooh Lala..."
It was October '77, and downtown was on fire,
And she felt the world burn with great lust and desire.
This Friday, in celebration of that fiery date,
Les Coquettes will recapture, relive and recreate.
(And by all means, if you'd like, feel free to procreate!)
In keeping with the theme, be mindful of what you wear
The objective is to make others stop and stare!
