"Rashida" lyrics - RUFUS WAINWRIGHT

I got the outfit for the party
But you've taken away the invitation
And I'd like to thank you, Rashida, for doing this
And giving me a reason to write a song

I guess I'll have to go a-begging
For that Vanity Fair connection
And I'd like to thank you, Rashida
It's been a while since I have gone a-begging
So very very long

[Interlude]

(Thank you, thank you)
(Thank you, thank you)
(Rashida)

I finally saw you at the party (At the party)
In a dress that was well, quite stunning
And I'd like to thank you, Rashida (Thank you, Rashida)
For giving me a reason to call Miss Portman
And to write this song

[Outro:]
(Ooh, ahh)
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh-ah, baby)
