[Intro — muffled party, camera flashes]
BOUNCER:
Name?
MOMO:
Momo.
[Pause]
BOUNCER:
You're not on the list.
MOMO:
...Check again.
[Disco bass slides in]
[Verse 1]
Black car pulling up at ten
Flashbulbs popping when I step in
Satin dress, little gold on my wrist
Funny how they suddenly remember the list
Everybody waiting behind that line
But I've never been good at wasting time
One little smile, doors swing wide
Now the whole room's looking to my side
[Pre-Chorus]
Champagne glow
Music low
Everybody wants to know
Who's that girl
Walking in
Like the night can now begin?
[Chorus]
Velvet rope
Move it over
Here I come
A little closer
I don't need a name in gold
Don't need somebody letting me know
Velvet rope
Let it fall
Watch me walk right through it all
Party wasn't really a party
Till I walked through the door
Ooh—
Move that velvet rope
[Verse 2]
Crystal lights dancing on the floor
DJ turned it up a little more
Someone sends a drink my way
Cute...
But I ordered mine already, babe
Friends on my left, rhythm on my right
Whole room sparkling under midnight lights
You can keep your VIP
The only section that I need is wherever we wanna be
[Pre-Chorus]
Heads all turn
Glasses rise
Little mischief in my eyes
No big scene
No big show
I just walk in—
And there it goes
[Chorus]
Velvet rope
Move it over
Here I come
A little closer
I don't need a name in gold
Don't need somebody letting me know
Velvet rope
Let it fall
Watch me walk right through it all
Party wasn't really a party
Till I walked through the door
Ooh—
Move that velvet rope
[Dance Break — disco strings, brass]
MOMO:
Left.
[Beat]
Right.
[Beat]
Champagne up.
[Glasses clink]
Now spin.
[Instrumental break]
MOMO:
Ooh, careful.
That's expensive.
[Bridge — smooth jazz breakdown]
特別じゃなくていい
私らしくいたいだけ
扉が開くその前から
輝いてるでしょ?
I don't need your invitation
I don't need your validation
If the room won't make some space...
[Pause]
I'll make my own.
[Final Chorus — full disco-jazz band]
Velvet rope
Move it over
Night is young
And getting closer
No permission, no control
I came to dance, that's all I know
Velvet rope
Let it fall
Now we're shining through it all
Party wasn't really a party
Till we walked through the door
Ooh—
Move that velvet rope
[Outro — music muffles]
BOUNCER:
Miss Momo?
MOMO:
Hmm?
BOUNCER:
I found your name.
[Pause]
MOMO:
Oh.
I wasn't on it.
[Heels click away]
MOMO:
You should probably fix that.
[Soft laugh]
