Say Liza (Liza With A "Z") |
It’s Liza with 'Z' not Lisa with an 'S' |
'Cause Lisa with an 'S' goes 'ssnozz' |
It’s 'Z' instead of 'S', 'Lie' instead of 'Lee' |
It’s simple as can be, see, Liza |
I’ll do it again |
It’s Liza with 'Z' not Lisa with an 'S' |
'Cause Lisa with an 'S' goes 'ssnozz' |
It’s 'Z' instead of 'S', 'Lie' instead of 'Lee' |
It’s simple as can be, see, Liza |
Now, if my name were Ada |
I’d be Ada, even backwards I’d be Ada |
Or if my name were Ruth |
Then I’d be Ruth because with Ruth what can you do? |
Or Sally, or Margaret or Ginger or Faye |
But when you’re a Liza you always have to say |
No, it’s Liza with 'Z' not Lisa with an 'S' |
'Cause Lisa with an 'S' goes 'ssnozz' |
It’s 'Z' instead of 'S', 'Lie' instead of 'Lee' |
It’s simple as can be, see, Liza |
Ah, and that is only half of it |
There’s another way they treat me cruelly |
How often I remember someone saying |
«There she goes, Lisa Minooli» |
Or Minolli or Miniola or Minili Minnilii |
So is it a wonder? |
I very often cry |
It’s M I double N, then E double L I |
You double up the N, that’s not me |
Then E double L end it with an I |
That’s the way you say Minnelli |
Liza Minnelli, it’s Italian |
Blame it on papa, what can I do? |
Every Sandra who’s a Saandra |
Every Mary who’s really Maree |
Every Joan who is a Joanne |
Has got to agree with me when I’m announced |
I don’t mind being pommeled or trampled or trounced |
But it does drive you bats to be Miss, mispronounced |
It’s Liza with 'Z' not Lisa with a 'S' |
'Cause Lisa with a 'S' goes 'ssnozz' |
It’s 'Z' instead of 'S', 'Lie' instead of 'Lee' |
It’s simple as can be, see, Liza |
Then M I double N, then E double L I |
You double up the N, that’s not me |
Then E double L end it with an I |
That’s the way you say Minnelli |
Liza Minnelli, it’s easy, it’s easy |
See it’s Leezy, no, Liza |
