[Verse 1]
Pretty legs, great big knockers
That's what sells them tickets at the door
Pretty legs, great big knockers
Honey, these are real show stoppers
That's what keeps 'em comin' back for more

[Verse 2]
They love-ah love-ah these pretty legs, great big knockers
That's what makes 'em spend a little more
Oooh, it ain't the ballads, it ain't the rockers
It's pretty legs and these great big knockers
That's what keeps 'em comin' back for more

[Verse 3]
Now listen, ladies. You don't need piano lessons
Don't bother learnin' fancy recipe-e-e-es
Why improve your mind? It takes up so much time
And that's the time you find me selling these

[Verse 4]
Pretty legs, great big knockers
That's what put the two in two by four
Oooh, it ain't the ballads, it ain't the rockers
It's pretty legs and these great big knockers
That's what keeps 'em comin' back for more

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.
