Dorothy Parker Lyrics - Prince

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) 

"'cause 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 

'cause 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
