[Intro]
\nWhat’s that thing
\n(Over there?)
\nFancy little widget
\n(Becoming scarce… rare!)<\/p>\n
Is it useful?
\n(Is it not?)
\nDoes it matter
\n(What you’ve got?)<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nA widget is a wonder
\nA doodad with a name
\nA gizmo with a purpose
\n(For just a bit of game)<\/p>\n
But add a little fashion
\nAnd suddenly you bet
\nYou’ve got a brand-new creature…<\/p>\n
(What’s a widgette?)<\/p>\n
[Refrain]
\nWhat’s a widgette?
\n(A female thingamabob)
\nAs in a Rockette?
\n(A placeholder…)
\n(… for an economic job)<\/p>\n
With fashion… bolder!<\/p>\n
[Verse 2]
\nCould be supply and demand
\nCould be something on the shelf
\nCould be something you invented
\n(Just to entertain yourself)<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nPut a price upon it
\n(Make it form a habit!)
\nGive it color and style
\n(So you’ll wear it for a while)<\/p>\n
Call it what you want to
\nBut when the money’s due…
\n(That little widgette
\nMight be looking back at you!)<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nWidgette!
\n(What’s she got?)<\/p>\n
Widgette!
\n(Quite a lot!)<\/p>\n
Fashion, function
\nPrice and pose
\nWho decides
\n(Who really knows?)<\/p>\n
Widgette!
\n(Strut your stuff!)<\/p>\n
Widgette!
\n(That’s enough!)<\/p>\n
[Verse 3]
\nMaybe she’s a Rocket
\nMaybe she’s a Rockette
\nMaybe she’s a market
\nThat hasn’t happened yet<\/p>\n
She’s dancing through the data
\nShe’s stepping through the stats
\n… pure accounting at the roots…
\n(In high-heeled combat boots!)<\/p>\n
Price elasticity
\n(Shake it!)
\nMarginal utility
\n(Take it!)<\/p>\n
Supply curve
\n(Dip!)
\nDemand curve
\n(Flip!)<\/p>\n
[Bridge]
\nIs she a product?
\n(Is she a price?)<\/p>\n
Is she a person?
\n(That don’t sound right!)<\/p>\n
Is she an idea?
\n(Is she a threat?)<\/p>\n
Or just a funny little…<\/p>\n
(Thingamabobette!)<\/p>\n
[Break]
\nPick!
\n(Choose!)<\/p>\n
Buy!
\n(Use!)<\/p>\n
Sell!
\n(Trade!)<\/p>\n
Who made…
\n(The grade?)<\/p>\n
A!
\n(B!)<\/p>\n
C!
\n(D!)<\/p>\n
None of the above!
\n(Better stick to love)<\/p>\n
[Instrumental]
\n[Fashion runway groove]
\n[Strutting bass]
\n[Piano and synth]
\n[Catwalk percussion]<\/p>\n
[Verse 4]
\nNow fashion gets bolder
\nAnd economics gets weird
\nThe labels get fancy
\n(The margins disappear!)<\/p>\n
A widget becomes a widgette
\nA thing becomes a brand
\nA placeholder becomes somebody
\n(With a purse in her hand!)<\/p>\n
And suddenly the market
\nHas something new to sell…<\/p>\n
(Well, what do you call it?)
\nWell, well, well<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus]
\nWidgette!
\n(What’s she got?)<\/p>\n
Widgette!
\n(Quite a lot!)<\/p>\n
Function, fashion
\nPrice and pose
\nShe’s whatever
\n(Who knows?)<\/p>\n
Widgette!
\n(Strut your stuff!)<\/p>\n
Widgette!
\n(That’s enough!)<\/p>\n
[Final Refrain]
\nWhat’s a widgette?
\n(A female thingamabob)
\nAs in a Rockette?
\n(A placeholder…)
\n(… for an economic job)<\/p>\n
With fashion… bolder!<\/p>\n
What’s a widgette?
\n(Do I get to pick and choose?)
\nMaybe she’s a widget
\n(With a different pair of shoes!)<\/p>\n
With fashion…<\/p>\n
(BOLDER!)<\/p>\n
[Outro]
\nThingamabob…<\/p>\n
(Widgette!)<\/p>\n
Economic job…<\/p>\n
(Widgette!)<\/p>\n
Don’t ask me what she is…<\/p>\n
(I dunno!)<\/p>\n
Wow! There she goes
\n(Oh, oh, oh)
\nShe’s got style…
\n(Makes the shoppers smile!)<\/p>\n
