Say Liza (Liza With A "Z") - Live

Lyrics

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...!
