You've Come A Long Way To St. Louis For A Cup Of Joey


Joe's off to St. Louis to visit sister Trudy-so we'll try to survive for a few weeks hopefully without a severe coffee withdrawl headache. Meanwhile the lovely Mrs. B said she might write a replacement column, tentatively titled "Living With The Chronically Depressed"
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!
