Of all the theatre critics 
A                E 
 Dorothy was the worst 
E 
She could be most sarcastic 
A                 E 
 And cruel and perverse 
E                 A                    B 
If she were alive she'd be a friend of mine 
 
CHORUS 
        E        A        B        E        A   B 
Dorothy Parker's hair was dark and listless 
             E     B 
Just like my hippy brother Chris's 
 
 
If she was pessimistic 
She was the humorist kind 
She wrote sad short stories 
With the funniest lines 
If she were alive she'd be a friend of mine 
 
Repeat CHORUS 
 
E A          B  E 
Laa la la la la 
A B          E 
Laa la la la la 
 

 
 
Up in the old Algonquin 
Talking verse and in rhyme 
Drinking around the table 
Every lunch time 
If she were alive she'd be a friend of mine 
 
Repeat CHORUS x 2 
 
 
E A          B  E 
Laa la la la la 
A B          E 
Laa la la la la
