Poor Little Girl
Don't act all crazy
Or try to be interesting
And don’t brag about what
You’ve never been
Poor little girl, for four months
I've had you
Dressed up nice and powdered
In pure silk skirts
And patent leather shoes
And ha ha, I even laugh
And I crack up
And ha ha, about this girl
So spoiled
And now, even a bite
Gets stuck in my throat
Thinking about how much
Those dresses and stockings cost
And patent leather shoes
-Little girl, just look at you-
Today you don’t want to go to the movies
For a dime
'Cause you say that there
Are broke people
Poor little girl, now
You’re all messed up
Don’t you remember, back then
You scrubbed the kitchen as
The boss's pet
And ha ha, I even laugh
And I crack up
And ha ha, about this girl
So spoiled
And now, even a bite
Gets stuck in my throat
Thinking about how much
Those dresses and stockings cost
And patent leather shoes.
