You Came a Long Way from St. Louis - Peggy Lee And George Shearing
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 ad-dress
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
You bloom in from the middle West
Certainly impressed the population hereabouts;
Well baby I got news for you
I'm from Missouri too natcherly I got my doubts
You got 'em droppin by the wayside
A feelin' I ain't gon - na know;
You came a long way from St Louis
But maby you still got a long way to go -
You know the false of St Louis
Know all about you
And baby you got a long way to go
