Of all the theatre critics

_Dorothy was the worst

She could be most sarcastic
A_________________E
_And cruel and perverse
E_________________A____________________B
If she were alive she'd be a friend of mine

CHORUS
________E________A________B________E________A___B
Dorothy Parker's hair was dark and listless
_____________E_____B
Just like my hippy brother Chris's


If she was pessimistic
She was the humorist kind
She wrote sad short stories
With the funniest lines
If she were alive she'd be a friend of mine

Repeat CHORUS

E A__________B__E
Laa la la la la
A B__________E
Laa la la la la

Up in the old Algonquin
Talking verse and in rhyme
Drinking around the table
Every lunch time
If she were alive she'd be a friend of mine

Repeat CHORUS x 2
