QUEENIE
From the film "The Wild Party" (1975)


Unknown Singer (Film Soundtrack) - 1975


She gets up 'bout a quarter-past-eleven
Feelin' like Hell, but lookin' like Heaven
Oh-oh, ooh-ooh-ooh
That Queenie baby of mine (That's Queenie)

Hair of gold and skin of alabaster
She'll be your mistress, but you won't be her master
Oh-hoh, ooh-ooh no
Not that Queenie of mine

Now and then other men 
Give a baby the rush (Wak-a-wak-a-doo)
But you can be sure Queenie is pure
Pure as the driven slush

When she loves you nobody is tougher
She'll give you pain, yeah, but what a way to suffer
Oh-oh, woh-woh-woh
That Queenie baby is fine, yeah-yeah

She's a road to ruin
She is my undoin'
I'm crazy 'bout my Queenie

She's the queen of the shady ladies
But if I got to go to Hades
I would rather go with Queenie

She might seem kinda mean
But it's only a bluff
'Cause down inside the sweetness shines
She's a zircon in the rough

I'm caught in the web and I gotta stay beside her
I don't know if I'm the fly or the spider
Oh well, things are swell
Long as Queenie is mine

She's a mixture of evil and innocent charm
She's a kind of Lucretia Borgia of Sunnybroke Farm
Woh-oh-hoh-oh-hoh
Ooooh, that's Queenie
