Lyrics Best Little Girl - Randy Newman

Best Little Girl

I once knew a girl
Her name was Barbara
The cutest little muffin you have ever seen
I was livin' in St. Louis
At the Chase Hotel
And she lived there
With her mommy and her daddy
And her little brother Skipper
Who was just thirteen
Just thirteen!
She went to Church every morning
Said her prayers real loud every night
She was the best little girl
In the whole damn town
Watch it, Devil
But you know I’m right
You know I’m right
One morning in the lobby
I whispered in her ear
«Honey, it’s too hot today to go to school
Whyn’t you call up
That cute little lifeguard?
He’s out by the hotel pool.»
They drank all her daddy’s whiskey
They took all her momma’s pills
They were found the next day
Drowned in their own vomit
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
