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 2 hungry
Dorothy laughed
She said It sound like a real man 2 me (U're kinda cute)
U're kinda cute, U wanna take a bath? (Do U wanna, do U wanna?) ... Bath?
Oh, I said Cool, but I'm leavin' my pants on (What U say?)
Cuz I'm kinda goin' 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
(Drring) 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 a witch's curse
Dorothy made me laugh (ha ha, ha ha)
I felt much better so I went back 2 the violent room
(Tell us what U did, 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
Oh
