Song 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 
ainit too hungry" 
Dorothy laughed 
She said "Sounds like a real man to me" 
Kinda cute, you 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 to 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 you" 
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 
To the violent room (tell us what you did) 
Let me tell you 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
