Perry Como - You Came a Long Way from St. Louis Lyrics

Lyrics You Came a Long Way from St. Louis - Perry Como



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!
< instrumental break >
My, how you come up!
Hmmm, you really come on!
< instrumental break >
Hey, I'll have your address!
St. Louis woman,
You′re a St. Louis doll!
< instrumental break >
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!
