Zip - Rita Hayworth

In Paris I headlined the follies

I was doll of all the dollies

Admired by the great Stradinsky

But my greatest achievement, in the high 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 you to know that I was quite the artist

But… of the intelectual kind

What was I thinking while I worked in my desk?

While I worked this thoughts kept crossing my mind

REFRAIN 1

Zip!

Walter Lippman 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.

I don’t want to see Zarina

I don’t want to meet Cobina

Zip!

I’m an intellectual

I don’t like a deep contralto

Or a man whose voice is alto

Zip!

I’m an heterosexual.

Zip!

I took intellect to master my art

Zip!

Who the hell is Margie Hart

REFRAIN 2

Zip!

I consider Dali’s paintings passé

Zip!

Can they make the Metropolitan pay?

Zip!

English people don’t say clerk, they say clark

Zip!

Anybody who says clark is a jark!

I have read the great Kabala

And I simply worship Allah

Zip!

I am suck a mystic.

I don’t care for Whistler’s Mother

Charlie’s Aunt and Shuber’s brother

Zip!

I’m misogynists

Zip!

My intelligence is guiding my hand

Zip!

who the hell is Sally Rand?
