Mitzi Dupree

Flying to salt
lake city
seats 3A and B
I was down and needed
a window
but in 3a sat Mitzi Dupree
she said hi I am Mitzi
the queen of the ping pong
where you going boy
I said nowhere
she said I'm moving on
I thought what is this
I cannot resist
here she is
and I've always wanted a girl
with a name
a name like Mitzi Dupree

she said what do you do
I said I'm a singer in a band
she said ya I'm an entertainer
reached out and took my hand
she was going to a mining town
way up north to do her show
I said it must be cold up there
she said depends on who you know
oh that look in her eye
I can tell you no lies
I'm just a man
she made me feel like a king in my mind
I love you Mitzi Dupree

I said what is this queen of the ping pong business
she smiled what do you think
it has no connection with china
I said oow have another drink
well I knew right away
that I'd seen her act before
in a room behind a kitchen in Bangkok
and three or four times more in Singapore
she may not be the first
but i know she ain't the worst
she was mine but i ran out of time
i miss you i love you Mitzi Dupree
my darling Mitzi Dupree
