| 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!
|
| Instrumental break
|
| My, how you come up!
|
| Hmmm, you really come on!
|
| Instrumental break
|
| Hey, I’ll have your address!
|
| St. Louis woman
|
| You’re a St. Louis doll!
|
| Instrumental break
|
| 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!
