In Paris I headlined the Follies

Billed as doll of all the dollies

Admired by the great Stravinsky

But my greatest achievement

And the height of my career

Was the time I starred for Minsky

You're looking at a former stripper

But before I unzip one zipper

I want it known I was quite the artist

Of the intellectual kind

What was I thinking while I worked you might ask?

While I worked these thoughts kept crossing my mind

Zip! Walter Lippmann wasn't brilliant today

Zip! Will the Giants ever take it away?

Zip! I was reading Schopenhauer last night

Zip! And I think that Schopenhauer was right

Sigmund Freud has often stated

Dreams and drives are all related

Zip! I'm a firm believer

Dorothy Dix's daily column

Tells that love is dear and solemn

Zip! I can take or leave her

Zip! It took intellect to master my art

Zip! Every movement from the heart

Zip! I consider Dali's painting passé

Zip! Will they make the Metropolitan pay?

Zip! Marilyn Monroe looks just dandy in mink

Zip! She not only acts, I hear she can think

I have read the works of Plato

Translated most of Cato

Zip! I am such a scholar

I don't care for Whistler's mother

Charlie's aunt or Schubert's brother

Zip! Had to make a dollar

Zip! You have asked me what I think while I work

Zip! I've an intellectual quirk

And my thoughts may skip whenever so inclined

Oh zip! Zip! Zip! I'm a broad with a broad, broad mind
