Текст песни You Came a Long Way from St. Louis (Joanie Sommers) с переводом

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!
