Perry Como - You Came A Long Way From St. Louis Lyrics
You came a long way from st. louis,You climbed the ladder of success . . .I've seen the flashy foreign carsThat were parked out in front ofYour fancy address!You came a long way from st. louis,You broke a lot of hearts between . . .I've met a gang of gloomy guysWho were doin' all right'till you came on the scene!You blew in from the middle-westAnd certainly impressedThe 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-westAnd certainly impressedThe 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!
