Pretty little pretty

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?
