MITZI DUPREE
(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover)
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'.
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
Ooh, Mitzi Dupree
She said, 'What do you do?'
I said, 'I'm a singer in a band'.
She said, 'Ya 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'.
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
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 'Oow 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
She may not be the first
But I know she ain't the worst
She was mine but I ran out of time
I miss you I love you Mitzi Dupree
My darling Mitzi Dupree.
