Well the pressure's down, the boss ain't here He gone North, for a while
They say that vanity got the best of him But he sure left here in style
By the way, that's a cute hat And that smile's so hard to resist
But what's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump like this ?
You know, I once knew a woman who looked like you
She wanted a whole man, not just a half She used to call me sweet daddy when I was
only a child You kind of remind me of her when you laugh
In order to deal in this game, got to make the queen disappear
It's done with a flick of the wrist What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump
like this ? You know, a woman like you should be at home
That's where you belong Taking care for somebody nice
Who don't know how to do you wrong Just how much abuse will you be able to take
? Well, there's no way to tell by that first
kiss What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump
like this ? You know you can make a name for yourself
You can hear them tires squeal You can be known as the most beautiful woman
Who ever crawled across cut glass to make a deal.
You know, news of you has come down the line Even before ya came in the door
They say in your father's house, there's many mansions
Each one of them got a fireproof floor Snap out of it baby, people are jealous of
you They smile to your face, but behind your back
they hiss What's a sweetheart like you doing in a dump
like this ? Got to be an important person to be in here,
honey Got to have done some evil deed
Got to have your own harem when you come in the door
Got to play your harp until your lips bleed. They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king There's only one step down from here, baby
It's called the land of permanent bliss What's a sweetheart like
you doing in a dump like this ?
