Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein, Miss MarmelsteinOh, why is it always Miss Marmelstein? Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss MarmelsteinOther girls get called by their first names right away
They get cozy intimate
Do you know what I mean?And nobody calls me, "Hey, baby doll", Miss Marmelstein
Or "Honey dear", Miss Marmelstein, or "Sweetie pie"
Miss MarmelsteinEven my first name would be preferable
Though its terrible, it might be better, its Yetta
Or perhaps my second name thats Tessye
Spelled T E S S Y EBut no, no, its always Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Youd think at least Miss M. they could try
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Oh, I could dieIm a very willing secretary
Enjoy my work as my employer will corroborate
Except for one disappointment one fly in the ointment
Its great I mean simply greatBut the aggravation of my situation
I might as well get it off my chest, its the drum appellation
Oh, pardon the big words I apply
But I was an English major at C.C.N.Y.Drum appellation
With which I am persistently addressed
Persistently, perpetually, continually and inevitably addressed
Believe me, it could drive a person positively psychosomaticOh, why is it always Miss Marmelstein? Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Miss MarmelsteinOther girls get called by their nick names right away
Slightly naughty or risky
Do you know what I mean?Nobody calls me,"Koo-chee-koo", Miss Marmelstein
Or "Boobala", Miss Marmelstein, or "Passion pie"
Even, "Hey there, babe" thought not respectable, aint so object able
Its kind of crummy but chummyOf course if I got married, that would do it
So, wheres the lucky guy?
Till then it still is Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Everyday I get more and more fastMiss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein, Miss Marmelstein
Oh, I could bust
