Lyrics

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
