Lyrics Poor Little Rich Girl - Carmen McRae

Poor little rich girl, you're a bewitched girl
Better beware, you better beware
Laughing at danger, virtue, a stranger
Better take care, you better take care

The life you lead sets all your nerves a jangle
Your love affairs are in a hopeless tangle
Though you're a child, dear, your life's a wild typhoon

In life of leisure
The graceful pleasure steadily grows, steadily grows
Cocktails and laughter, but what comes after
Nobody knows, nobody knows

You're weaving love into a mad jazz pattern
Ruled by Pantaloon
Poor little rich girl
Don't drop a stitch too soon

The life you lead sets all your nerves a jangle
Your love affairs are in a hopeless tangle
Though you're a child, dear, your life's a wild typhoon

In life of leisure
The graceful pleasure steadily grows, it steadily grows
Cocktails and laughter, but what come after
Nobody knows, nobody knows

You're weaving love into a mad jazz pattern
Ruled by Pantaloon
Poor little rich girl
Don't drop a stitch too soon, too soon
Poor little rich, rich girl
