Say Liza (Liza With A Z)

Say Liza (Liza With A Z)

(album: Liza With A "Z" - 1972)

I have a problem
It's not a big problem
But it is a problem
It's my name
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, someone will come up to me on the street and say
"Hello Lisa, how are you?"
"Fine, thank you but it's Liza"
Or Someone will 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 trying to figure out the final solution to this
And I think I've come up with an answer
Jack!

It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause 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
'Cause 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

It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause 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 saying
"There she goes, Lisa Minooli!"
Or Minoli, or Miniola, 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, thats nn, not ll
Then E, double the L, end it with an I
That's the way you say Minnelli
Liza Minnelli
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 is a Joanne
Has got to agree with me
When I've announced
I don't mind being pommelled
Or trampled or trounced
But it does drive you bats
To be miss, Miss pronounced

It's Liza with a Z
Not Lisa with an S
'Cause 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, thats "nn," not "ll"
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!
