Poor Little Rich Girl - Bobby Short

Poor little rich girl, you’re a bewitched girl

Better be aware

Laughing at danger, virtual stranger

Better take care

The life you lead sets all your nerves a-jangle

Your love affairs are in a hopeless tangle

Though you’re a child, dear

Your life’s a wild typhoon

In lives of leisure the craze for pleasure

Steadily grows

Cocktails and laughters but what comes after

Nobody knows

You’re weaving love into a magic pattern

Poor little rich girl

Don’t drop a stitch too soon

Poor little rich girl, you’re a bewitched girl

Better be aware

Laughing at danger, virtual stranger

Better take care

The life you lead, sets all your nerves a-jangle

Your love affairs are in a hopeless tangle

Though you’re a child, dear

Your life’s a wild typhoon

In lives of leisure the craze for pleasure

Steadily grows

Cocktails and laughters but what comes after

Nobody knows

You’re weaving love into a magic pattern

Poor little rich girl, poor little rich girl

Don’t drop a stitch too soon, too soon
