JezebelFrom Israel,
Who never read a book,
Charmed the literati,
And a smile was all it took

I was laughing with Picasso,
When she first entered the room,
But Gershwin, Tristan, Tzara,
And Man Ray saw her too

There was never any doubt,
All would try to take her home,
But she refused their every move,
Preferred to be alone

And a roseA rose is a rose

Zelda had a breakdown,
Fitzgerald hit the bar
His hand was broken, words were spoken,
Didn't get too far

Hemmingway was smoother,
More debonaire and fun,
But he would say her repartee,
Was meaner than a gun

Chorus:
And a rose

A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
Said my good friend Gertrude Stein
She knows that I go to the ol' Deux Magots,
And I drink Pernod through the night

JezebelFrom Israel,
Who never read a book,
She charmed the literati
And a smile was all it took

Before her Joyce will babble,
And Pound has gone insane,
Eliot is paralyzed by,
Thoughts of April rain

When she refused Lenin,
He vowed to start a war
Stravinsky beat The Rite of Spring,
Right there on the floor

Chorus

And then one night she's missing,
A riot soon began
No one could stand the thought of Jezzie with another man

I raced down winding streets,
I broke into her house
You never guess who Jezebel,
Was kissing on the couch

A roseA rose is a rose

Hi Jezzie Hi there, Gertrude
Am I interrupting something?

A rose is a rose is a rose is a rose is a rose
