1
You came a long way from St. Louis,
2
You climbed the ladder of success
3
I've seen the flashy foreign cars
4
That were parked out in front of
5
Your fancy address!
6
You came a long way from St. Louis,
7
You broke a lot of hearts between
8
I've met a gang of gloomy guys
9
Who were doin' all right
10
'Till you came on the scene!
11
You blew in from the middle-west
12
And certainly impressed
13
The population here-abouts
14
Well baby, I got news for you,
15
I'm from Missouri too,
16
So, naturally, I got my doubts!
17
You got 'em droppin' by the way-side,
18
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
19
You came a long way from St. Louis,
20
But baby, you still got a long way to go!
21
My, how you come up!
22
Hmmm, you really come on!
23
< instrumental break >
24
Hey, I'll have your address!
25
St. Louis woman,
26
You're a St. Louis doll!
27
You blew in from the middle-west
28
And certainly impressed
29
The population here-abouts
30
Well baby, I've got news for you,
31
I'm from Missouri too,
32
So, naturally, I got my doubts!
33
You got 'em droppin' by the way-side,
34
A feelin' I ain't gonna know
35
You came a long way from St. Louis,
36
But baby, you still got a long way to go!
37
You left St. Louis far behind,
38
Keep this little thought in mind,
39
You still, got a long way to go!
