Mitzi Dupree Lyrics

	(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 movng 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

	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
