Karaoké Say Liza (Liza with a ”Z”) Liza Minnelli

I have a problem

No wait it's not a big problem but it is a problem

It's my name

You know I find it still a lot of people call me Lisa

Wrong

My name is Liza

Liza, has a Z in it

Well for instance somebody'll come up to me on the street and say Hello Lisa how are you

Say Fine thank you but it's Liza

Or somebody'll say

Lisa what a nice hat you have on

I'll say Thank you very much but my name is Liza and that's my hair

So you can see what I mean

Anyway

I've been tryin' to figure out a final solution to this whole thing

And I think I've come up with the answer

Jack

It's Liza with a Z not Lisa with an S 'cos Lisa with an S goes SSS not ZZZ

It's Z instead of S

Ly instead of Lee

It's simple as can be, see Liza

I'll do it again

It's Liza with a Z not Lisa with an S 'cos Lisa with an S goes SSS not ZZZ

It's Z instead of S

Ly instead of Lee

It's simple as can be, see Liza

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

Or Faye

But when you're a Liza you always have to say

No it's Liza with a Z not Lisa with an S 'cos Lisa with an S goes SSS not ZZZ

It's Z instead of S

Ly instead of Lee

It's simple as can be, see Liza

Oh and that is only half of it

There's another way fate treats me cruelly

How often I remember someone sayin' There she goes

Lisa Minooli

Or Minoli

Or Minola

Or Minili

Or Minelie

So is it a wonder

I very often cry

It's M-I Double N then E Double L-I

You double up the N

That's NN not NOO

Then E, double the L

End it with an I

That's the way you say Minnelli

Liza Minnelli huh

It's Italian

Blame it on papa

What can I do

Every Sandra who's a Sondra

Every Mary who's really Marie

Every Joan who's a Joanne has got to agree with me when I've announced

I don't mind bein' pommelled or trampled or trounced

But it does drive you bats to be Miss

Mispronounced

It's Liza with a Z not Lisa with an S 'cos Lisa with an S goes SSS not ZZZ

It's Z instead of S

Ly instead of Lee

It's simple as can be, see Liza

Then M-I Double N then E Double L-I

You double up the N

That's NN not NOO

Then E, double the L

End it with an I

That's the way you say

Minnelli

Liza Minnelli

It's easy

It's easy

See it's Leezy

No

Liza
