Two Little Girls from Little Roock - Marilyn Monroe

We’re just two little girls from Little Rock

We lived on the wrong side of the tracks

But the gentlemen friends who used to call

They never did seem to mind at all

They came to the wrong side of the tracks

Then someone broke my heart in Little Rock

So I up and left the pieces there

Like a little lost lamb I roamed about

I came to New York and I found out

That men are the same way everywhere

I was young and determined to be wined and dined and ermined

And I worked at it all around the clock

Now one of these days in my fancy clothes

I’m going back home and punch the nose

Of the one who broke my heart in Little Rock, Little Rock!

I’m just a little girl from Little Rock

A horse used to be my closest pal

Though I never did learn to read or write

I learnt about love in the pale moonlight

And now I’m an educated gal

I learnt an awful lot in Little Rock

And here’s some advice I’d like to share:

Find a gentleman who is shy or bold

Or short or tall, or young or old.

As long as the guy’s a millionaire!

For a kid from the wrong street I did very well on Wall Street

Though I never owned a share of stock

And now that I’m known in the biggest banks

I’m going back home and give my thanks

To the one who broke my heart in Little Rock!
