Alicinha Lyrics - The Complete A&m Recordings - Liza Minnelli

It's Liza with a Z 

Not Lisa with an S 

'Cause Lisa with an S 

Goes "sss" not "zzz" 

It's Z instead of S 

Ly instead of Lee 

It's simple as can be 

See, Liza! 

I'll do it again... 

It's Liza with a Z 

Not Lisa with an S 

'Cause Lisa with an S 

Goes "sss" not "zzz" 

It's Z instead of S 

Ly instead of Lee 

It's simple as can be 

See, Liza!

Now - if my name were Ada, 

I'd be Ada, 

Even backwards I'd be Ada 

Or if my name were Ruth, 

Then I'd be Ruth, 

Because with Ruth, 

What can you do? 

Or Sally, or Margaret, or Ginger or Faye 

But when you're a Liza 

You always have to say... 

It's Liza with a Z 

Not Lisa with an S 

'Cause Lisa with an S 

Goes "sss" not "zzz" 

It's Z instead of S 

Ly instead of Lee 

It's simple as can be 

See, Liza!

Oh! And that is only half of it 

There's another way 

Fate treats me cruelly. 

How often I remember someone saying 

"There she goes, Lisa Minooli!" 

Or Minoli, or Miniola, or Minili, or Minelie 

So is it a wonder, I very often cry? 

It's M-I-Double N, 

then-E-Double L-I, 

You double up the N, thats nn, not ll 

Then E, double the L, end it with an I, 

That's the way you say Minnelli... 

Liza Minnelli, 

It's Italian, 

Blame it on papa, 

What can I do? 

Every Sandra 

Who's a Sahndra, 

Every Mary who's really Marie 

Every Joan 

Who is a Joanne 

Has got to agree with me 

When I've announced 

I don't mind being pommelled 

Or trampled or trounced 

But it does drive you bats 

To be miss, Miss pronounced... 

It's Liza with a Z 

Not Lisa with an S 

'Cause Lisa with an S 

Goes "sss" not "zzz" 

It's Z instead of S 

Ly instead of Lee 

It's simple as can be 

See, Liza! 

Then M-I-Double N, 

then-E-Double L-I, 

You double up the N, thats "nn," not "ll," 

Then E, double the L, end it with an I, 

That's the way you say... Minnelli... 

Liza Minnelli! 

It's easy! 

It's easy! See, it's Leezy! 

No! Liza...!
