* 4-bar intro
* Chorus It's Liza with a Z, not Lisa with an S
'Cause Lisa with an S goes "snuds".
It's Z instead of S, "Li" instead of "Lee".
It's simple as can be, see, Liza.
I'll do it again.
* Repeat chorus
* Verse 1 Now, if my name were Ada, I'd be Ada.
Even backwards, I'd be Ada.
Or if my name were Ruth, then I'd be Ruth,
Because with Ruth, what can you do?
Or Sally or Margaret or Ginger of Faye,
But when you're a Liza, you always have to say...
* Repeat chorus
* Verse 2 Oh, and that is only half of it.
There's another way fate treats me cruelly.
How often I remember someone saying,
"There she goes, Lisa Minnooli
Or Minnolli or Minniolla or Minnollie or Minnoll-I",
So is it a wonder I very often cry,
* Chorus 2 It's M-I-double N, then E-double L-I.
You double up the N, that's "nn", not "mm".
Then E, double the L, end it with an I.
That's the way you say Minnelli.
* Bridge Liza Minnelli.
It's Italian.
Blame it on Papa.
What can I do?
Every Sandra (American pronounciation) who's a Sandra (English pronounciation),
Every Mary who's really Marie,
Every Joan who is a Joanne
Has got to agree with me when I've announced
I don't mind being cobbled or trampled or trounced,
But it does drive you bats to be mis, mis-pronounced!
* Repeat chorus 1
Repeat chorus 2, except replace "It's" with "Then"
* Outro Liza Minnelli.
It's easy.
It's easy.
(spoken) See, it's Leezee.
No, Liza.
