You Came a Long Way from St Louis

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!
