Deep Purple - Mitzi Dupree
------------------------------------------

(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 Im movng on
I thought what is this
I cannot resist

Here she is
And Ive always wanted a girl
With a name
A name like mitzi dupree

She said what do you do
I said Im a singer in a band
She said ya Im 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
Im 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 Id 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 aint the worst
She was mine but I ran out of time
I miss you I love you Mitzi Dupree
My darling Mitzi Dupree
