You came a long way from St. Louis You climbed the ladder of success I've seen the town and country cars That were parked out in front of your fancy adress You came a long way from St. Louis You broke a lot of hearts between I've seen a gang of gloomy gals Who were doin' all right til you came on the scene Bridge You came here from the middle West And certainly impressed the population hereabouts Well, baby, I got news for you I'm from Missouri, too, so natcherly, I got my doubts You got 'em droppin by the wayside 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
