Congratulations, oh, wow!
Aren’t you lucky to win?
Who did you seduce now?
Come on, big winner, show some skin.
Aren’t you grateful you’re so pretty?
Big breasts get the big paychecks, and
Tiny waists are popular with the committee.
Every bombshell gets an award stand.
Tell me about your dress, it can’t be ignored!
And your lipstick, it’s making me breathless!
Oh, what? Talk about the award?
Does its color clash with your necklace?
