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 address. You came a long way from St. Louis, you broke a lot of hearts between, I've seen a gang of gloomy guys who were doing all right till you came on the scene. 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 dropping by the wayside, a feeling I ain't gonna know. You came a long way from St. Louis, but baby, you still got a long way to go.
