Queenie Was A Blonde Lyrics

Queenie Was A Blonde Text

---

QUEENIE
Queenie was a blonde and her age stood still.
And she danced twice a day in vaudeville.
Queenie was a blonde, and if looks could kill,
She would kill twice a day in vaudeville.
She had grey eyes,
Lips like coals aglow.
And her face was a tinted mask of snow.
With those shoulders,
What a back she had.
Her legs were built to drive men mad.

And she did.

She would skid.

MEN
She had grey eyes,
Lips like coals aglow.
And her face was a tinted mask of snow.

QUEENIE
With those shoulders,
What a back she had.
Her legs were built to drive men:

MEN
Her legs were built:
Her legs were built to drive men -

QUEENIE
Mad.
But how was she ever to love them?
There were far too many of them.

MEN
She never got tired
Of the men she desired.
She never inquired of the men
She desired.


QUEENIE MEN
She never got tired
Of the men she desired.

One is simple She never inquired of the men
She desired.

Two is good She never got tired
Of the men she desired.

Three is better She never inquired of the men
She desired.

MEN
Four?

QUEENIE
Now you're knocking on wood
Well, I adore men
So bring me more men.

MEN
She never inquired
Of the men she desired
Of their status or their wealth,
They were all in perfect health.

QUEENIE MEN
True, so true Queenie was a blonde
And her age stood still.
And Queenie knew True, she knew

QUEENIE & MEN
That she liked her lovers violent,
And he liked her vicious,
But until she found the one man
Who could answer all her wishes

MEN
Queenie was sexually ambitious
Capricious

QUEENIE
So delicious.

BURRS
Are you ready to laugh?
Are you ready to smile?
Are you ready to sing and dance for a while?

Before too long she'd meet a man named Burrs.
A handsome devil with a life like hers

BURRS WOMEN
A clown,
A clown,
Of some renown.
A clown of some renown.
Well-known
MEN
Well-known
All over town
Well-known all over town.
He could make 'em laugh

ALL
Ha!

BURRS
Bend their ribs in half

ALL
Ho! Ho!

BURRS
He was mast of his work
He could give 'em Hell
Just one sentimental smirk
And the house might yell:

ENSEMBLE
Uproarious!
Glorious!
Burrs!
Burrs!
Burrs!

BURRS
Oh, yes,
They shouted out his name
Proclaiming he was grand

GIRLS
Burrsie, Burrsie
BURRS
And, yes, he played the girlie game
But behind the scenes:
He was mean and rough
He was mean and rough
He was made of vile and violent stuff.
They liked him tough.
Get in his way
And he would run you down

BURRS
He was a very scary clown!
He didn't want to be bad. He was bored.
He was sore. He was dying for more.

ENSEMBLE
Queenie

BURRS
Where was she?

ENSEMBLE
Queenie

BURRS
That special girl who could take him over the top?
One day he'd find her:

ENSEMBLE
Until she found the one man

BURRS
One day, you bet

ENSEMBLE
Who could answer all her wishes

BURRS
One day she'd just appear

BURRS and ENSEMBLE
One day

QUEENIE
Then one day they met

BURRS
And fireworks flew.

QUEENIE
Her passion ignited
She was smitten.

BURRS
His colors shone through
He'd met his match.

QUEENIE, BURRS & ENSEMBLE
They knew what to do

QUEENIE & BURRS
I found you

ENSEMBLE
They said.

QUEENIE & BURRS
Now Queenie and Burrs were well-fed.

ENSEMBLE
For the one thing that they had in common
The one thing that they in common
Was the fact they were so good in bed!
So, now you know
A fascinating woman
A fascinating lover
A fascinating couple
As
They
