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!
