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 cocktail, 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
|
