Prince - Dorothy Parker Lyrics
Dorothy Parker [Controversy Music, ASCAP - 1987]--------------Dorothy was a waitress on the promenadeShe worked the night shiftDishwater blonde, tall and fineShe got a lot of tipsWell, earlier I'd been talkin' stuffIn a violent roomFighting with lovers pastI needed someone with a quicker wit than mineDorothy was fastWell, I ordered - "Yeah, let me get a fruit *****tail, I ain't 2 hungry"Dorothy laughedShe 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 saidAnd 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 offBut she didn't see the movieCuz she hadn't read the book firstInstead she pretended she was blindAn affliction brought on by a witch's curseDorothy made me laugh (ha ha)I felt much better so I went back2 the violent room (tell us what U did)Let me tell U what I did...I took another bubble bath with my pants onAll the fighting stoppedNext time I'll do it soonerThis is the ballad of Dorothy ParkerDorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy ParkerDorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy ParkerWellDorothy Parker, Dorothy ParkerWell
