Miss Marmelstein (From 'I Can Get It for You Wholesale') |
| Oh, why is it always Miss Marmelstein? |
| Miss Marmelstein? |
| Miss Marmelstein? |
| Other girls get called by their first names right away |
| They get cozy intimate … do you know what I mean? |
| Nobody calls me: «hey, baby doll!» |
| Or «honey dear» or «sweetie pie» |
| Even my first name would be preferable |
| Though it’s terrible, it might be better: it’s yetta! |
| Or perhaps my second name that’s tessye |
| Spells t-e-s-s-y-E! |
| But no, no, it’s always Miss Marmelstein! |
| You’d think at least miss m. |
| they could try… |
| Miss Marmelstein! |
| Miss Marmelstein! |
| Miss Marmelstein! |
| Miss Marmelstein! |
| Miss Marmelstein! |
| Oh, I could die! |
| I’m a very willing secretary |
| Enjoy my work as my employer will corroborate |
| Except for one disappointment one fly in the ointment |
| It’s great I mean simply great |
| But the aggravation of my situation |
| I might as well get it off my chest |
| It’s the drab appellation |
| Oh pardon the big words I apply |
| But I was an english major at c.c.n.y |
| Drab appellation! |
| With which I am persistently addressed |
| Persistently, perpetually, continually and inevitably addressed! |
| Believe me, it could drive a person positively psychosomatic |
| Why is it always Miss Marmelstein? |
| Miss Marmelstein? |
| Miss Marmelstein? |
| Other girls get called by their nick names right away |
| Slightly naughty or risque |
| Do you know what I mean? |
| ha! |
| ha… mmmmmmm! |
| Nobody calls me: «koo-chee-koo» or «boobala» or «passion pie» |
| Even «hey there babe!» |
| thought not respectable |
| Ain’t so objectable |
| It’s kind of crummy but chummy |
| Of course if I got married, that would do it |
| So, where’s the lucky guy? |
| ha… |
| Till then it still is Miss Marmelstein! |
| Everyday I get more and more fussed |
| Miss Marmelstein! |
| Miss Marmelstein! |
| Miss Marmelstein! |
| Miss Marmelstein! |
| Miss Marmelstein! |
| Oh… oh…oh!!! |
| I could bust! |
