This is a story 'bout a poor girl, a story that you ought to know
|
She lived all alone in a one room flat on a street where the lights are low
|
Every night about the same time she'd go and put her glad rags on
|
Go to the place where everyone goes to Boogaloo all night long
|
She's a poor girl
|
|
Born and raised in the country she got tired of pushing a plow
|
She take my train to the city and mother you should look at her now
|
With her rattlesnake boots, elephant bag, genuine crocodile hat
|
Around her neck to top it off she even wears a persian cat
|
She's a poor girl
|
|
That was the story of the poor girl but now she uses her head
|
She's back home working on the land instead of playing in bed
|
The fast life she was living took her as it's prey
|
Now she's back in the country getting fatter every day
|
She's a Poor Girl
