Mitzi Dupree - Deep Purple

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 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, «Yeah 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 know 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, «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 isn’t the worst

She was mine but I ran out of time

I miss you, I love you Mitzi Dupree

My darling Mitzi Dupree

My darling, my darling

My darling Mitzi Dupree

Mitzi Dupree

I love you Mitzi Dupree
