Well she was so fine
On the first impression
I was taken, taken in by the view
With eyes so soft
And a face so smooth
I found her selling
In a fashion booth
All I said was,
"Do you sell suits?"
She said, "You're a scream
and your accent's so cute"
Her mother had to meet me
It all sounded funny
But then my friends told me,
"Well, the girl's got money"
It's alright, it's okay
Hey, don't you worry about a thing
You're the king today
But there's a price you may pay
If you take your seat in the royal suite
You might get stranded on Easy Street
Well, she said she was
a good time girl
Laughing, laughing a bit too loud
Such a face
The specialist creates
She gets the benefit of the doubt
I know that she wanted more than I could give
But I just had to see how the other half lived
She showed me her friends
She showed me her throne
I didn't sell my soul
I just took out a loan
It's alright, it's okay
Hey, don't you worry about a thing
You're the king today
But there's a price you may pay
If you take your seat in the royal suite
You might get stranded on Easy Street
She runs to mother
The social x-ray star
She put me at the wheel
Of her father's new car
She loved how her touch
Made me want to drive farther
She loved how her money meant
She's tell me how far
It's alright, it's okay
Hey, don't you worry about a thing
You're the king today
But there's a price you may pay
If you take your seat in the royal suite
You might get stranded on Easy Street
