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
