From 'Destry rides again' :
Wearing a cowgirl/bolero outfit on stage, Frenchy first asks her audience: "Anybody thirsty?" - and then places her leg up on a chair and begins belting out one of her most famous numbers, the saloon song: See What the Boys in the Back Room Will Have. In the midst of the song, she kicks in the hind-end another saloongirl tart, sitting in the lap of a cowboy, who has taken attention away from her. To emphasize one line of the lyrics, she makes her throat quiver by grasping the flap of skin below her chin and jiggling it. And during the finale, she struts down the length of the bar:
See what the boys in the backroom will have,
And tell them I'm having the same.
Go see what the boys in the backroom will have,
And give them the poison they name.
And when I die, don't spend my money
On flowers and my picture in a frame.
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have,
And tell them I sighed,
And tell them I cried,
And tell them I died of the same.
And when I die, don't buy a casket
Of silver with the candles all aflame
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have,
And tell them I sighed,
And tell them I cried,
And tell them I died of the same.
And when I die, don't pay the preacher
For speaking of my glory and my fame
Just see what the boys in the backroom will have,
And tell them I sighed,
And tell them I cried,
And tell them I died of the same.
