The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker Lyrics by Prince

The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker Lyrics

    Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
    She worked the night shift
    Dishwater blonde, tall and fine
    She got a lot of tips
    Well, earlier i'd been talkin' stuff
    In a violent room
    Fighting with lovers past
    I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
    Dorothy was fast
    Well, i ordered - "yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, i ain't 2 hungry"
    Dorothy laughed
    She 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 said
    And 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 off
    But she didn't see the movie
    Cuz she hadn't read the book first
    Instead she pretended she was blind
    An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
    Dorothy made me laugh (ha ha)
    I felt much better so i went back
    2 the violent room (tell us what u did)
    Let me tell u what i did...

    I took another bubble bath with my pants on
    All the fighting stopped
    Next time i'll do it sooner
    This is the ballad of dorothy parker

    Dorothy parker, dorothy parker, dorothy parker
    Dorothy parker, dorothy parker, dorothy parker
    Well
    Dorothy parker, dorothy parker
    Well
