Flying to Salt Lake City

Seats 3a and be 

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



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 ow 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
