Mitzi Dupree

[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
