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........!
