Mitzi Dupree Lyrics

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 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
My darling, my darling
My darling Mitzi Dupree
Mitzi Dupree
I love you Mitzi Dupree
