You Came A Long Way From St. Louis

Performer(s): Peggy Lee;
and various other artists



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 lotta hearts between
I've seen a gang of gloomy gals 
who were doing alright 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
