Thought you were a card sharp, baby Turned out you were a fence Everything you did Was always veiled in elegance. Oh, pretty little baby How come you're getting it downtown? Oh, pretty little pretty You got lost before you got found. Always tried to mend your ways By turning tricks and treats Cooling irons and telephones Made you seem so indiscreet. Oh, pretty little baby How come you're getting it downtown? Oh, pretty little pretty You got lost before you got found. Oh, find me! Everything you ever said It never meant a thing Through fusillades and flower shops You lost your diamond rings. Oh, pretty little baby How come you're getting it downtown? Oh, pretty little pretty You got lost before you got found. Find me, honey, find me! Think about it, darling! All the ladies stand in waiting They run up and down the stairs Leaving their combs and brushes In your mother's hair. Oh, pretty little baby How come you're giving it away for free? Oh, pretty little pretty What became of you and me?
