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
