Dorothy was the worst
E
She could be most sarcastic
A E
And cruel and perverse
E A B
If she were alive she'd be a friend of mine
CHORUS
E A B E A B
Dorothy Parker's hair was dark and listless
E B
Just like my hippy brother Chris's
If she was pessimistic
She was the humorist kind
She wrote sad short stories
With the funniest lines
If she were alive she'd be a friend of mine
Repeat CHORUS
E A B E
Laa la la la la
A B E
Laa la la la la
Up in the old Algonquin
Talking verse and in rhyme
Drinking around the table
Every lunch time
If she were alive she'd be a friend of mine
Repeat CHORUS x 2
E A B E
Laa la la la la
A B E
Laa la la la la
