Align:    
  • Little black girl in a red dress
  • On a hot night with a broken shoe
  • Little black girl you shoulda never left home
  • Theres probly someone thats still waitin up for you
  • Its cold back in chicago
  • But in los angeles its worse
  • When all you got is $29.00 and an alligator purse
  • I see already that vulture in the fleetwood
  • With the shartruse hood
  • Can see youre trying to get your bearings
  • And you say hey which ways the main stem
  • And where ever you say youre from
  • Hell say he grew up there himself
  • And hell comeon and make you feel
  • Like you grew up right next door to him
  • And you say take a left on central
  • And he throws it in reverse
  • Cause you only got $29.00 and an alligator purse
  • And hell come on like a gentleman
  • And youll be a little shy
  • You say your ex old man was a sax player
  • Hell say baby I used to play bass for sly
  • And you say you like his cadillac, say honey I got 2 or 3
  • Hell say sweetheart youre sure fortunate
  • That you ran into me
  • When youve done a dime in the joint
  • You figure nothin could be worse
  • And you got $29.00 in an alligator purse
  • Well he got pharoh on the 8 track
  • You start smokin a little boo
  • You thinkin gettin out of chicago was the
  • Best thing ever happened to you
  • But he aint no good samaritan
  • Hell make sure hes reimbursed
  • Lot more than $29.00 and an alligator purse
  • Now the sirens just an epilog
  • The cops always get there to late
  • They always stop for coffee on the way to the scene of the
  • Crime
  • They always try so hard to look like movie stars
  • They couldnt catch a cold
  • You only wasting your dime
  • And shes lucky to be alive
  • The doctor whispered to the nurse
  • She only lost a 1/2 pint of blood
  • $29.00 and an alligator purse
