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!
