The Wild Party (Original Off-Broadway Cast Recording)
Queenie Was a Blonde
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!
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
