We construct three dimensional axisymmetric, cuspy density distributions,whose potentials are of St\"ackel form in parabolic coordinates. As in Sridharand Touma (1997), a black hole of arbitrary mass may be added at the centre,without destroying the St\"ackel form of the potentials. The construction usesa classic method, originally due to Kuzmin (1956), which is here extended toparabolic coordinates. The models are highly oblate, and the cusps are "weak",with the density, $\rho \propto 1/r^k$, where $0
