Lip-stick Liz Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: AAAA AAAA BBAA AAAA CDED| Oh Lip Stick Liz was in the biz That's the oldest known in history | A |
| She had a lot of fancy rags Of her form she made no myst'ry | A |
| She had a man a fancy man His name was Alexander | A |
| And he used to beat her up because he couldn't understand her | A |
| - | |
| Now Lip Stick Liz she loved her man And she couldn't love no other | A |
| So when she saw him with a Broadway Blonde Her rage she could not smother | A |
| She saw him once and she saw him twice But the third time nearly crazed her | A |
| So she walked bang into a hardware store And she bought a brand new razor | A |
| - | |
| Now Lip Stick Liz she trailed them two For she was tired of weeping | B |
| She trailed them two in a flash hotel And there she found them sleeping | B |
| So she gashed them once and she gashed them twice Their ju'lar veins to sever | A |
| And the bright blood flowed like a brook between And their lives were gone forever | A |
| - | |
| Now Lip Stick Liz went to the p'lice And sez she Me hands are gory | A |
| And you'll put me away in a deep dark cell When once you've heard me story | A |
| So they've put her away in a deep dark cell Until her life be over | A |
| And what is the moral of the whole damn show I wish I could discover | A |
| - | |
| Chorus | C |
| Oh Lip Stick Liz What a lousy life this is | D |
| It's a hell of a break for a girl on the make | E |
| Oh Lip Stick Liz | D |
