It's Liza with a "Z" not Lisa with an "S"
'Cause Lisa with an "S" goes snoz
It's Z instead of S, Li instead of Lee
It's simple as could be see Liza

Now if my name were Ada, I'd be Ada
Even backwards I'd be Ada
And if my name were Ruth than I'd be Ruth
Because with Ruth what can you do?

Or Sally or Margaret or Ginger or Faye
But when your a Liza, you always have to say
No, it's Liza with a "Z" not Lisa with an "S"
'Cause Lisa with an "S" goes snoz
It's Z instead of S, Li instead of Lee
It's simple as could be see Liza

Oh, and that is only half of it
There's another way they treat me cruelly
How often I remember someone saying
"There she goes Lisa Minoulli
Or Minolli or Miniola or Minilli or Minillie

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 "N" not Lou
Then E double the L end it with an I
That's the way you say Minelli, Liza Minelli
It's easy, it's easy, see it's Lizi, no L I Z A
