[Andrew Lippa, Julia Murney, Brian D’Arcy James - Queenie Was a Blonde lyrics]
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
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:
Her legs were built:
Her legs were built to drive men -
Mad but how was she ever to love them?
There were far too many of them
She never got tired of the men she desired
She never inquired of the men she desired
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
Four?
Now you're knocking on wood
Well, I adore men so bring me more men
She never inquired of the men she desired
Of their status or their wealth
They were all in perfect health
True, so true Queenie was a blonde
And her age stood still
And Queenie knew True, she knew
That she liked her lovers violent
And he liked her vicious
But until she found the one man
Who could answer all her wishes
Queenie was sexually ambitious capricious
So delicious
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
A clown a clown
Of some renown a clown of some renown
Well-known
Well-known all over town
Well-known all over town
He could make 'em laugh
Ha!
Bend their ribs in half
Ho! Ho!
He was mast of his work
He could give 'em Hell
Just one sentimental smirk
And the house might yell:
Uproarious! Glorious!
Burrs! Burrs!
Burrs! BURRS
Oh, yes they shouted out his name
Proclaiming he was grand
Burrsie, Burrsie
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
He was a very scary clown!
He didn't want to be bad he was bored
He was sore he was dying for more
Queenie
Where was she?
Queenie
That special girl who could take
Him over the top? One day he'd find her:
Until she found the one man
One day, you bet
Who could answer all her wishes
One day she'd just appear
One day
Then one day they met
And fireworks flew
Her passion ignited she was smitten
His colors shone through he'd met his match
They knew what to do
I found you
They said
Now Queenie and Burrs were well-fed
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!
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
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:
Her legs were built:
Her legs were built to drive men -

She never got tired of the men she desired
