You came a long way from st. louis, |
|
You climbed the ladder of success . . . |
|
I've seen the flashy foreign cars |
|
That were parked out in front of |
|
Your fancy address! |
|
You came a long way from st. louis, |
|
You broke a lot of hearts between . . . |
|
I've met a gang of gloomy guys |
|
Who were doin' all right |
|
'till you came on the scene! |
|
You blew in from the middle-west |
|
And certainly impressed |
|
The population here-abouts . . . |
|
Well baby, i got news for you, |
|
I'm from missouri too, |
|
So, naturally, i got my doubts! |
|
You got 'em droppin' by the way-side, |
|
A feelin' i ain't gonna know . . . |
|
You came a long way from st. louis, |
|
But baby, you still got a long way to go! |
|
My, how you come up! |
|
Hmmm, you really come on! |
|
Hey, i'll have your address! |
|
St. louis woman, |
|
You're a st. louis doll! |
|
You blew in from the middle-west |
|
And certainly impressed |
|
The population here-abouts . . . |
|
Well baby, i've got news for you, |
|
I'm from missouri too, |
|
So, naturally, i got my doubts! |
|
You got 'em droppin' by the way-side, |
|
A feelin' i ain't gonna know . . . |
|
You came a long way from st. louis, |
|
But baby, you still got a long way to go! |
|
You left st. louis far behind, |
|
Keep this little thought in mind, |
|
You still . . . got a long way to go! |
