Mitzi Dupree lyrics

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: "Yeah, 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 know 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: "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 isn't the worst

She was mine but I ran out of time

I miss you, I love you, Mitzi Dupree!

[Outro]

My darling Mitzi Dupree

My darling, my darling

My darling Mitzi Dupree

Mitzi Dupree

I love you Mitzi Dupree
