| Little black girl, red dress | |
| Hot night with a broken shoe | |
| Little black girl, you shoulda never left home | |
| There's probably someone still waitin' up for you | |
| It's cold back in Chicago | |
| Los Angeles, it's worse when all you got is | |
| $29.00 and an alligator purse | |
| I see that vulture in the Fleetwood | |
| Chartreuse hood trying to get your bearings | |
| Say “Hey baby, which way’s the main stem?” | |
| Where ever you say you're from | |
| He'll say he grew up there himself | |
| He gonna come on and make you feel | |
| Like you grew up right next door to him | |
| Take left on Central | |
| Gon’ throws it in reverse | |
| All you got is $29.00 and an alligator purse | |
| Come on like a gentleman | |
| Oh babe, you gonna be a little shy | |
| Say your ex old man was a sax player | |
| He says, \"Baby, I used to play bass for Sly\" | |
| Say you like his Cadillac | |
| Says, “Honey, I got 2 or 3” | |
| Sweetheart, you're sure fortunate | |
| That you ran into me | |
| You've done a dime in the joint | |
| You figure nothin' could be worse | |
| $29.00 and an alligator purse | |
| Pharaoh on the 8 track | |
| You start smokin' little boo | |
| Thinkin' gettin' out of Chicago is just about | |
| The best thing that’s ever happened to you | |
| He's starting like a [Incomprehensible] | |
| This cat seems to be cool | |
| He says, “Baby, I know a good ol' deal | |
| Out in West Hollywood, he's just right for you” | |
| He ain't no good Samaritan | |
| He gon’ make sure he's reimbursed | |
| Lot more than $29.00 and an alligator purse | |
| Now when the streets get hungry, baby | |
| You almost hear them growl | |
| Someone's setting a place for you | |
| When the dogs begin to howl | |
| Well, the streets are dead | |
| They creep up and down when it was left on the pole | |
| Remember suckers always make mistakes | |
| When they're far away from home | |
| Chicken in a pot | |
| Whoever gets there first | |
| Gonna get himself $29.00 | |
| And an alligator purse | |
| Now the sirens just an epilogue | |
| The cops here always get there too late | |
| Always stop for coffee | |
| On the way to the scene of the crime | |
| They always try so hard | |
| Just like movie stars | |
| But they couldn't catch a cold | |
| Baby, don't waste your dime | |
| Lucky to be alive | |
| The doctor whispered to the nurse | |
| “She only lost a half pint of blood | |
| $29.00 and an alligator purse” |
