Mitzi Dupree

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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" [Chorus 1] 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 Mitzi Dupree [Verse 2] 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" [Chorus 2] 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 Hmm, darlin' I love you Mitzi Dupree [Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus 3] 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
