$29.00 |
little black girl in a red dress |
on a hothight with a broken shoe |
little black girl you shoulde never left home |
theres probly someone thats still waitin' up for you |
its cold back in chicago |
but in los angles its worse |
when all you got is $ 29.00 and an alligator purse |
i see already that vulture in the fleetwood |
with the startruse hood |
can see you’re trying to get you bearrings |
and you say hey which ways the main stem |
and where ever you say you’re from |
he’ll say he grew up there himself |
and he’ll comeon and make you feel |
like you grew up right next door to him |
and you say take a left on a central |
and he trows it in reverse |
cause you only got $ 29.00 and an alligator purse |
and he’ll come on like a gentleman |
and you’ll be a little shy |
you say you ex old man was a sax player |
he’ll say baby i used to play bass for sly |
and you say you like his cadillac, say honey, i got 2 or 3 |
he’ll say sweetheart you’re sure fortunate |
that you ran into me |
when you’ve done a dime in the joint |
you figure nothin' could be worse |
and you got $ 29.00 and an alligator purse |
well he got pharoh on the 8 track |
you start smokin' a little boo |
you thinkin' gettin' outofchicago was the |
best thing that ever happend to you |
startin' to like it already |
this cat seems to be cool |
and he says honey i know a good hotel out in west hollywood |
that’d be just right for you |
but he ain’t know good samaritan |
he’ll make sure he’s reimursed |
lot more than $ 29.00 and a alligator purse |
now the sirens just an epilog |
the cops here always get there too late |
they always stop for coffee on the way to the scene of the crime |
then they always try so hard to look just like movie stars |
they couldnt catch a cold |
you ony wasting you dime |
and she’s lucky to be alive |
the doctor whispered to the nurse |
she only lost a ½ pint of blood |
$ 29.00 and an alligator purse |
