| It’s Liza with a Z Not Lisa with an S
|
| 'Cause Lisa with an S Goes «sss"not «zzz»
|
| It’s Z instead of S Li instead of Lee
|
| It’s simple as can be See, Liza!
|
| I’ll do it again…
|
| It’s Liza with a Z Not Lisa with an S
|
| 'Cause Lisa with an S Goes «sss"not «zzz»
|
| It’s Z instead of S Li instead of Lee
|
| It’s simple as can be See, Liza!
|
| Now — if my name were Ada,
|
| I’d be Ada,
|
| Even backwards I’d be Ada
|
| Or if my name were Ruth,
|
| Then I’d be Ruth,
|
| Because with Ruth,
|
| What can you do?
|
| Or Sally, or Margaret, or Ginger or Faye
|
| But when you’re a Liza
|
| You always have to say…
|
| It’s Liza with a Z Not Lisa with an S
|
| 'Cause Lisa with an S Goes «sss"not «zzz»
|
| It’s Z instead of S Li instead of Lee
|
| It’s simple as can be See, Liza!
|
| Oh! |
| And that is only half of it There’s another way
|
| Fate treats me cruelly.
|
| How often I remember someone saying
|
| «There she goes, Lisa Minooli!»
|
| Or Minoli, or Miniola, or Minili, or Minelie
|
| So is it a wonder, I very often cry?
|
| It’s M-I-Double N,
|
| then-E-Double L-I,
|
| You double up the N, thats nn, not ll Then E, double the L, end it with an I,
|
| That’s the way you say Minnelli…
|
| Liza Minnelli,
|
| It’s Italian,
|
| Blame it on papa,
|
| What can I do?
|
| Every Sandra
|
| Who’s a Sondra,
|
| Every Mary who’s really Marie
|
| Every Joan
|
| Who is a Joanne
|
| Has got to agree with me When I’ve announced
|
| I don’t mind being pommelled
|
| Or trampled or trounced
|
| But it does drive you bats
|
| To be miss, Miss pronounced…
|
| It’s Liza with a Z Not Lisa with an S
|
| 'Cause Lisa with an S Goes «sss"not «zzz»
|
| It’s Z instead of S Li instead of Lee
|
| It’s simple as can be See, Liza!
|
| Then M-I-Double N,
|
| then-E-Double L-I,
|
| You double up the N, thats «nn,"not «ll,»
|
| Then E, double the L, end it with an I,
|
| That’s the way you say… Minnelli…
|
| Liza Minnelli!
|
| It’s easy!
|
| It’s easy! |
| See, it’s Leezy!
|
| No! |
| Liza!!! |
