Lyrics

In Paris I headlined the follies I was doll of all the dollies Admired by the great Stradinsky But my greatest achievement in the high of my career Was the time I starred for... Minsky You're looking at a former stripper But before I unzip ONE zipper I want you to know that I was quite the artist But... of the intelectual kind What was I thinking while I worked in my desk? While I worked this thoughts kept crossing my mind In Paris I headlined The Follies Billed as doll of all the dollies Admired by the great Stravinsky But my greatest achievement At the height of my career Was the time I starred for Minsky You're looking at a former stripper But before I unzip one zipper I want it known that I was quite the artiste but uh The intellectual kind What was I thinking while I worked You might ask While I worked these thoughts kept crossing my mind Zip! Walter Lippman wasn't brilliant today Zip! Will the Giants ever take it away? Zip I was reading Schopenhauer last night Zip! And I think that Schopenhauer was right Sigmund Freud has often stated Dreams and drives are all related Zip! I'm a firm believer Dorothy Dix's daily column Tells that love is dear and solemn Zip! I can take or leave her Zip! it took intellect to master my art Zip! Every movement from the heart Zip! I consider Dali's painting passé Zip Will they make the Metropolitan pay Zip! Marilyn Monroe looks just dandy in mink Zip! She not only acts I hear she can think I have read the works of Plato translated most of Cato Zip! I am such a scholar I don't care for Whistler's mother Charlie's aunt or Schubert's brother Zip! had to make a dollar Zip! You have asked me what I think while I work Zip! I've an intellectual quirk And my thoughts may skip whenever so inclined Oh Zip... Zip Zip! I'm a broad with a broad broad mind!
