'Tired'
Written by Mel Brooks - Performed by Madeline Kahn
From the Film 'Blazing Saddles'
Here
I stand, the goddess of Desire,
Set men on fire,
I have this power,
Morning noon and night it's drink and dancing,
Some quick romancing,
and then a shower.
Stage door johnnies always surround me,
They always hound me,
with one request,
Who can satisfy their lustful habits,
I'm not a rabbit!
I need some rest!
I'm tired,
Sick and tired of love,
I've had my fill of love,
from below and above.
Tired
tired of being admired,
tired of love uninspired,
let's face it,
I'm tired!
I've been with 1000's of men,
again and again,
they promise the moon,
they always coming and going,
going and coming,
and always too soon!
Right girls?
I'm tired,
tired of playing the game,
ain't it a crying shame?
I'm so tired,
God dammit I'm exhausted!
I'm tired,
tired of playing the game,
ain't it a crying shame?
I'm so tired.
(Abridged
lyrics)
