The Ballad of Dorothy Parker |
| Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade |
| She worked the night shift |
| Dishwater blonde, tall and fine |
| She got a lot of tips |
| Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff in a violent room |
| Fightin' with lover's past |
| I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine |
| Dorothy was fast |
| Well, I ordered: "Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't too hungry" |
| Dorothy laughed |
| She said: "It sound like a real man to me |
| (You're kinda cute) |
| You're kinda cute, you wanna take a bath?" |
| (Do you wanna, do you wanna?) |
| ... Bath? |
| Oh, I said: "Cool, but I'm leavin' my pants on (What you say?) |
| 'Cause I'm kinda goin' with someone" |
| She said: "Sound like a real man to me |
| Mind if I turn on the radio?" |
| "Oh, my favorite song," she said |
| And it was Joni singing: "Help me, I think I'm falling" |
| (Drring) The phone rang and she said |
| "Whoever's calling can't be as cute as you" |
| Right then and there I knew I was through |
| (Dorothy Parker was cool) |
| Well |
| My pants were wet, they came off |
| But she didn't see the movie 'cause she hadn't read the book first |
| Instead she pretended she was blind |
| An affliction brought on by a witch's curse |
| Dorothy made me laugh |
| (Ha ha, ha ha) |
| I felt much better so I went back to the violent room |
| (Tell us what you did, what you did) |
| Let me tell you what I did |
| I took another bubble bath with my pants on |
| All the fighting stopped |
| Next time I'll do it sooner |
| This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker |
| Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker |
| Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker |
| Well |
| Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker |
| Well |
| Oh |
