[length: 04:56]
[00:30.15]Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
[00:35.03]She worked the night shift
[00:38.55]Dishwater blonde, tall and fine
[00:42.64]She got a lot of tips
[00:46.00]Well, earlier I’d been talkin’ stuff in a violent room
[00:53.36]Fightin’ with lover’s past
[00:56.37]I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
[01:00.91]Dorothy was fast
[01:05.38]Well, I ordered, “Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain’t too hungry”
[01:12.05]Dorothy laughed
[01:14.81]She said, “It sound like a real man to me”
[01:17.03](You’re kinda cute)
[01:18.51]”You’re kinda cute, you wanna take a bath?”
[01:20.97](Do you wanna, do you wanna?)
[01:22.59]Bath?
[01:23.99]Oh, I said, “Cool, but I’m leavin’ my pants on (what you say?)
[01:29.49]’Cause I’m kinda goin’ with someone”
[01:34.02]She said, “Sound like a real man to me
[01:37.23]Mind if I turn on the radio?”
[01:43.48]”Oh, my favorite song” she said
[01:46.95]And it was Joni singing, “Help me, I think I’m falling”
[01:50.84](Drring) the phone rang and she said
[01:53.20]”Whoever’s calling can’t be as cute as you”
[01:58.69]Right then and there I knew I was through
[02:00.42](Dorothy Parker was cool)
[02:04.24]
[02:06.38]Well
[02:08.57]
[02:11.85]My pants were wet, they came off
[02:13.82]But she didn’t see the movie ’cause she hadn’t read the book first
[02:21.11]Instead she pretended she was blind
[02:25.62]An affliction brought on by a witch’s curse
[02:30.09]Dorothy made me laugh
[02:31.37](Ha ha, ha ha)
[02:31.65]I felt much better so I went back to the violent room
[02:36.54](Tell us what you did, what you did)
[02:37.51]Let me tell you what I did
[02:40.46]I took another bubble bath
[02:42.60]With my pants on
[02:45.58]All the fighting stopped
[02:47.26]Next time I’ll do it sooner
[02:52.78]This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker
[02:58.84]Dorothy Parker, Dorothy…
[03:08.18]Dorothy Parker, Dorothy…
[03:19.02]Well
[03:26.95]Dorothy Parker, Dorothy…
[03:35.16]Well
[03:40.02]Oh
