liza minnelli'nin, ismini yanlış telaffuz eden insanlardan dert yandığı süper eğlenceli şarkısı. "say liza with a z" veya "say liza" olarak da geçer.. başındaki monolog da çok çok güzeldir.. işin bir güzel yanı da sözleri arattığınız da google'ın "lisa with a z" mi demek istediniz diye sorması. kadın meramını anlatamamış anlayacağınız... sözler (konser kaydından):

thankyou very much, you're really terrific
and seeing how you are, can i tell ya something, i have a problem
no wait, it's not a big problem, but it is a problem
it's my name, you know i find that still - a lot of people call me lisa - wrong
my name is liza - liza - has a 'z' in it
well, for instance, somebody'll come up to me on the street and say
hello lisa how are you, i'll say, i'm fine thankyou but it's liza
or somebody'll say - lisa what a nice hat you have on
i'll say thank you very much but my name is liza and that's my hair
so you can see what i mean
anyway, i've been trying to figure out a final solution to this whole thing
and i think i've come up with the answer - jack

(burada böyle bir jack deyişi var ki ve şarkı burada başlıyor esasen)

it's liza with 'z' not lisa with an 's', 'cause lisa with an 's' goes ssno'zz
it's 'z' instead of 's', 'lie' instead of 'lee', it's simple as can be, see, liza
i'll do it again
it's liza with 'z' not lisa with an 's', 'cause lisa with an 's' goes ssno'zz
it's 'z' instead of 's', 'lie' instead of 'lee', it's simple as can be, see, liza

now - if my name were ada, i'd be ada, even backwards i'd be ada
or if my name were ruth, then i'd be ruth because with ruth what can you do
or sally, or margaret or ginger or faye
but when you're a liza you always have to say

nn - it's liza with 'z' not lisa with an 's', 'cause lisa with an 's' goes ssno'zz
it's 'z' instead of 's', 'lie' instead of 'lee', it's simple as can be, see, liza

oh! and that is only half of it
there's another way
fate treats me cruelly.
how often i remember someone saying
"there she goes, lisa minooli!"
or minoli, or miniola, or minili, or minelie
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, thats nn, not ll
then e, double the l, end it with an i,
that's the way you say minnelli...
liza minnelli,
it's italian,
blame it on papa,
what can i do?

every sandra
who's a sondra,
every mary who's really marie
every joan
who is a joanne
has got to agree with me
when i've announced
i don't mind being pommelled
or trampled or trounced
but it does drive you bats
to be miss, miss pronounced...

it's liza with a z
not lisa with an s
'cause lisa with an s
goes "sss" not "zzz"
it's z instead of s
li instead of lee
it's simple as can be
see, liza!

then m-i-double n,
then-e-double l-i,
you double up the n, thats "nn," not "ll,"
then e, double the l, end it with an i,
that's the way you say...minnelli...
liza minnelli!!
it's easy!
it's easy! see, it's leezy!
no! liza........!
