Bette Midler

Hi, how ya doin'?
Long time no see
Oh well, time flies when you're on Prozac
But enough about you, let's talk about me
I bet you didn't expect me to look quite this fabulous!
I bet you were expecting a beefier gal
Give it up boys and girls
Admit it, I look good

[Harlettes]:
Whoa oh oh oh oh

As you well know it's been my duty
To accept my superficial beauty

And whereas others will go no further (uh huh)
I'm obliged to speak my mind
I'm a cascading fountain of information
Allow me to apprise you of the situation
In Hollywood, brains mean squat
It's pretty legs and great big (she looks good)

I look good
Every timе I walk into the room, that's right
I look so good (she looks good)
They lovе me, they hate me
But they all say, She looks good (she looks good)
And I'm a helluva girl
I'm a load of fun, I look good (she looks good)
But you got to get to know me

Bette Midler is a Grammy-winning singer, songwriter, comedienne and actress. Named in honor of Bette Davis, Midler’s career began performing off-broadway until she developed the stage persona The Divine Miss M while singing at the world-famous Continental Baths gay bathhouse. A pre-fame Barry Manilow, the venue’s in-house piano player, produced her Grammy-nominated debut album which scored three US top 40 singles including the Grammy-nominated “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”. Midler took home the Best New Artist Grammy that year, her first of three career wins.

Throughout the 1970s, Midler found further success with music, Broadway, television and film. The Rose, Midler’s 1979 acting debut, earned her both Oscar and Academy Award nominations, and its namesake song won her a Golden Globe and another Grammy – also giving Midler her first success overseas.

The early 1980s proved less successful for Midler with four under-performing singles and a box office flop with the film Jinxed. However, the second half of the decade would prove far more fruitful with a handful of very successful films including Down and Out in Beverly Hills, Ruthless People, Outrageous Fortune and Beaches, the latter featuring a chart-topping cover of “Wind Beneath My Wings” that won Midler her third Grammy and is considered one of the greatest songs in American film history.
