Diana
It’s “Desert Island” at a dinner party, the table’s set, there’s calamari. All of the napkins are wrapped so I know, you must be doing alright. You asked who I’d date, if I could; anyone from any time. (I’m) looking for love in a history book, there’s one name that sticks in my mind.

It’s “Desert Island” at a dinner party,
the table’s set, there’s calamari.
All of the napkins are wrapped so I know,
you must be doing alright.
You asked who I’d date, if I could;
anyone from any time.
(I’m) looking for love in a history book,
there’s one name that sticks in my mind.
Diana. A dame of stage and of screen.
Diana. Circa 19 and 73.
Lady Tyrell, Queen of Thorns,
a bond girl before I was born,
she was a young boy’s Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Let’s keep this going, why’d you get all quiet?
...am I playing this right?
I am just guessing, based on your reaction,
Could I have another try?
Diana. An icon, the Princess of Wales.
Diana. Her devil was in the details.
Her approach to charity,
had the media desperate to see,
Even when they knew she’d never be queen.
I see a pattern of young British royals -
I guess we all have a type.
But, to the victor, so go the spoils,
I could keep this up all night...
Diana. Motown’s favorite Supreme.
Diana. Always had such “High Energy”.
I know “You Can’t Hurry Love”,
But if there’s a God up above,
Please ask her nice to “Come See About Me”
