Текст песни Prince - The Ballad Of Dorothy Parker

песня, на которой он изливает свою измученную душу. Принц ругается со своей подружкой, а потом топает ногой и идет в ресторан, чтобы сидеть там наедине с собой и дуться. («Да, дайте мне фруктовый коктейль, я не слишком-то голоден»). Его кадрит богемная официантка, работающая в ночную смену. «Ты милый — не хочешь принять ванну?» Для девушки в песне Принца это еще скромный подход. Они решают провести ночь вместе, но не заниматься любовью, так что штаны остаются на Принце — и в них он сидит в ванне с пузырями, слушая музыку Джони Митчелл. Они с новой подругой доверяют друг другу, и для него это новый и страшный опыт. Болтовня с Дороти учит его тому, как быть другом для своей девушки, поэтому он возвращается домой и тоже садится в ванну в штанах. Ругань прекращается, и когда они в следующий раз поссорятся, он будет знать, что делать. Ни один мужчина нашего или какого-то другого поколения не писал таких песен о женщине, как эта.

Dorothy was a waitress on the promenade
She worked the night shift
Dishwater blonde, tall and fine
She got a lot of tips
Well, earlier I'd been talkin' stuff in a violent room
Fightin' with lover's past
I needed someone with a quicker wit than mine
Dorothy was fast
Well, I ordered - "Yeah, let me get a fruit cocktail, I ain't to hungry"
Dorothy laughed
She said - "It sound like a real man to me (you're kinda cute)
You're kinda cute, you wanna take a bath?" (Do you wanna, do you wanna?) ... Bath?
Oh, I said - "Cool, but I'm leavin' my pants on (What you say?)
Cuz I'm kinda goin' with someone"
She said - "Sound like a real man to me
Mind if I turn on the radio?"
"Oh, my favorite song," she said
And it was Joni singing, "Help me, I think I'm falling"
(Drring) The phone rang and she said
"Whoever's calling can't be as cute as you"
Right then and there I knew I was through (Dorothy Parker was cool)
Well
My pants were wet, they came off
But she didn't see the movie cuz she hadn't read the book first
Instead she pretended she was blind
An affliction brought on by a witch's curse
Dorothy made me laugh (ha ha, ha ha)
I felt much better so I went back to the violent room
(Tell us what you did, what you did) Let me tell you what I did
I took another bubble bath with my pants on
All the fighting stopped
Next time I'll do it sooner
This is the ballad of Dorothy Parker
(Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker)
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Well
Dorothy Parker, Dorothy Parker
Well
Oh

The song on which he pours his exhausted soul. The prince swears with his girlfriend, and then keeps his foot and goes to a restaurant to sit there alone with him and blow. ("Yes, give me a fruit cocktail, I'm not too hungry"). His cadre of a bohemian waitress working in a night shift. "You're cute - don't you want to take a bath?" For the girl in the song Prince is another modest approach. They decide to spend the night together, but do not make love, so the pants remain on the prince - and in them he sits in a bath with bubbles, listening to the music of Joni Mitchell. They trust each other with a new girlfriend, and for him it is a new and terrible experience. The chatter with Dorothy teaches him to be a friend for his girl, so he returns home and also sits in the bath in his pants. Rugan stops, and when they quarrel next time, he will know what to do. No man of our or some generation wrote such songs about a woman like this.
