[MISS MARMELSTEIN]
\nWhy is it always Miss Marmelstein? (Miss Marmelstein)
\nMiss Marmelstein? (Miss Marmelstein)
\nOh, Miss Marmelstein? (Miss Marmelstein)
\nOther girls get called by their first names right away
\nThey get cozy, intimate, know what I mean?
\nNobody calls me, "Hey, baby doll" (Miss Marmelstein)
\nOr "Honey dear"
\nOr "Sweetie pie" (Miss Marmelstein)
\nEven my first name would be preferable
\nThough it's terrible, it might be better, it's Yеtta
\nOr perhaps my second name, that's Tеssye
\nSpelled T-E-S-S-Y-E
\n
\nBut no, no, it's always Miss Marmelstein
\nYou'd think at least Miss M they could try
\n(Miss Marmelstein) Miss Marmelstein
\n(Miss Marmelstein) Miss Marmelstein
\nMiss Marmelstein
\nOh, I could die
\n
\nI'm a very willing secretary
\nEnjoy my work as my employer will corroborate
\nExcept for one disappointment, one fly in the ointment
\nIt's great, I mean, simply great
\n
\nThe aggravation of my situation
\nI might as well get it off my chest
\nIt's the drab appellation
\nOh, pardon the big words I apply
\nBut I was an English major at CCNY
\nDrab appellation
\nWith which I am persistently addressed
\nPersistently, perpetually, continually, inevitably addressed
\nBelieve me, it could drive a person positively psychosomatic
\n
\nWhy is it always Miss Marmelstein? (Miss Marmelstein)
\nMiss Marmelstein? (Miss Marmelstein)
\nOh, Miss Marmelstein? (Miss Marmelstein)
\nOther girls get called by their nicknames right away
\nSlightly naughty or risqué, do you know what I mean?
\nNobody calls me "Koo-chee-koo" (Miss Marmelstein)
\nOr "Bubbeleh" (Miss Marmelstein)
\nOr "Passion pie" (Miss Marmelstein)
\nEven "Hey there, babe," though not respectable
\nAin't so objectable
\nIt's kind of crummy but chummy
\nOf course, if I got married, that would do it
\nSo, where's the lucky guy? Huh? Oh
\n
\n'Til then, it still is Miss Marmelstein
\nEvery day I get more and more fussed
\n(Miss Marmelstein) Miss Marmelstein
\n(Miss Marmelstein) Miss Marmelstein
\nMiss Marmelstein
\nOh-oh, I could bust\n\n
