The House Of Blue Light - 1987

 
(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 i'm movng 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 ya 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 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 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
