Madeline Kahn sings this in the Mel Brooks classic Blazing Saddles. Her character, Lili von Shtupp, is a Teutonic spy and dance hall singer. Her interpretation of the character is a comic homage to Marlene Dietrich.
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 constantly 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 thousands of men
Again and again
They promise the moon
They're always coming and going
And 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!
Tired, tired of playing the game
Ain't it a crying shame
I'm so tired
[Soldiers:]
She's tired (She's tired!)
Sick and tired of love (Give her a break!)
She's had her fill of love (She's not a snake!)
From below and above (Can't you see she's sick?)
Tired (She's bushed!)
Tired of being admired (Let her alone!)
Tired of love uninspired (Get off the phone!)
She's tired (Don't you know she's pooped?)
I've been with thousands of men
Again and again
They sing the same tune
They start with Byron and Shelley
And jump on your belly
And bust your balloon
Oy!
Tired, tired of playing the game
Ain't it a friggin' shame
I'm so...
(spoken)
Let's face it. Everything below the waist is kaput!
[Soldiers:]
Tired!
I’m Tired was written by Mel Brooks.
