We're just two little girls from Little Rock. |
|
We lived on the wrong side of the tracks. |
|
But the gentlemen friends who used to call, |
|
they never did seem to mind at all. |
|
They came to the wrong side of the tracks. |
|
|
|
Then someone broke my heart in Little Rock, |
|
so I up and left the pieces there. |
|
Like a little lost lamb I roamed about, |
|
I came to New York and I found out |
|
that men are the same way everywhere. |
|
|
|
I was young and determined to be wined and dined and ermined |
|
and I worked at it all around the clock. |
|
Now one of these days in my fancy clothes, |
|
I'm a going back home and punch the nose |
|
of the one who broke my heart (the one who broke my heart) |
|
The one who broke my heart in Little Rock, Little Rock, Little Rock...Little Rock |
|
|
|
I'm just a little girl from Little Rock, |
|
a horse used to be my closest pal. |
|
Though I never did learn to read or write, |
|
I learned about love in the pale moonlight |
|
and now I'm an educated gal. |
|
|
|
I learned an awful lot in Little Rock, |
|
and here's some advice I'd like to share: |
|
find a gentleman who is shy or bold, |
|
or short or tall, or young or old.. |
|
as long as the guy's a millionaire! |
|
|
|
For a kid from the small street I did very well on Wall Street, |
|
though I never owned a share of stock. |
|
And now that I'm known in the biggest banks, |
|
I'm going back home and give my thanks |
|
to the one who broke my heart (the one who broke my heart) |
|
The one who broke my heart in Little Rock! |
