The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker

Lyrics for 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 a lover's past I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine Dorothy was fast Well I ordered "Yeah, lemme get a fruit cocktail I ain't too hungry" Dorothy laughed She said "sound like a real man 2 me U're kinda cute Do u wanna take a bath?" (do you want, do you want) Oh, I said "cool, but I'm leaving my pants on cuz I'm kinda going with someone" She said "sound 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 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 cuz she hadn't read the book first Instead, she pretended she was blind - an affliction brought on by the witch's curse Dorothy made me laugh I felt much better so I went back to the violent room 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, Dorothy Parker Well
