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! |
