Brian D'Arcy James - Queenie Was a Blonde lyrics

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 k** She would k** 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 s**ually 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 pa**ion 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 Go!
