PRINCE lyrics : "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

Fighting with lovers past
I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Dorothy was fast

Well, I ordered - "Yeah, let me get a fruit @@#!tail, I
ain't 2 hungry"
Dorothy laughed

She said "Sounds like a real man 2 me"
Kinda cute, U wanna take a bath?
(do you wanna, do you wanna, bath)

I said "Cool, but I'm leaving my pants on" (she say)
"Cuz I'm kind of going with someone"
She said "Sounds like a real man 2 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"

(Ring)
The phone rang and she said
"Whoever's calling can't be as cute as U"

Right then I knew I was through
(Dorothy Parker was cool)
My pants where wet, they came off

But she didn't see the movie
Cuz 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)
I felt much better so I went back

2 the violent room (tell us what U did)
Let me tell U 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
