[Verse 1]
Am9/E E7
Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
Em7 A9/E
She worked the night shift
Am7/E B/E
Dishwater blonde, tall and fine
Em
She got a lot of tips
[Verse 2]
Am9/E E7
Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff in a violent room
Em7 A9/E
Fightin' with lover's past
Am7/E B/E
I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Em
Dorothy was fast
[Verse 3]
Am9/E E7
Well, I ordered - "Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't to hungry"
Em7 A9/E
Dorothy laughed
Am7/E
She said - "It sound like a real man tome (you're kinda cute)
B/E Em
You're kinda cute, you wanna take a bath?" (Do you wanna, do you wanna?) ... Bath?
[Verse 4]
Am9/E E7
Oh, I said - "Cool, but I'm leavin' my pants on (What you say?)
Em7 A9/E
Cuz I'm kinda goin' with someone"
Am7/E B/E
She said - "Sound like a real man to me
Em
Mind if I turn on the radio?"
[Bridge 1]
G G7 G
"Oh, my favorite song," she said
G7 G Am G G7 G
And it was Joni singing, "Help me, I think I'm falling"
G7 G
(Drring) The phone rang and she said
G7 G G6 G G7 G G6
"Whoev er's calling can't be as cute as you"
Em
Right then and there I knew I was through (Dorothy Parker was cool)
[Interlude]
A9/E Am9/E

Em
My pants were wet, they came off
But she didn't see the movie cuz she hadn't read the book first
Esus4 E/F Em E/F Em E/F E7sus4
Am9/E E7
Instead she pretended she was blind
Em7 A9/E
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
Am7/E
Dorothy made me laugh (ha ha, ha ha)
B/E Em
I felt much better so I went back to the violent room
(Tell us what you did, what you did) Let me tell you what I did
[Bridge 2]
G G7 G Gsus4 G G7 G Gsus4
I took another bubble bath with my pants on
