Well she was so fine

On the first impression

I was taken, taken in by the view

With eyes so soft

And a face so smooth

I found her selling

In a fashion booth

All I said was,

"Do you sell suits?"

She said, "You're a scream

and your accent's so cute"

Her mother had to meet me

It all sounded funny

But then my friends told me,

"Well, the girl's got money"



It's alright, it's okay

Hey, don't you worry about a thing

You're the king today

But there's a price you may pay

If you take your seat in the royal suite

You might get stranded on Easy Street



Well, she said she was

a good time girl

Laughing, laughing a bit too loud

Such a face

The specialist creates

She gets the benefit of the doubt

I know that she wanted more than I could give

But I just had to see how the other half lived

She showed me her friends

She showed me her throne

I didn't sell my soul

I just took out a loan



It's alright, it's okay

Hey, don't you worry about a thing

You're the king today

But there's a price you may pay

If you take your seat in the royal suite

You might get stranded on Easy Street



She runs to mother

The social x-ray star

She put me at the wheel

Of her father's new car

She loved how her touch

Made me want to drive farther

She loved how her money meant

She's tell me how far



It's alright, it's okay

Hey, don't you worry about a thing

You're the king today

But there's a price you may pay

If you take your seat in the royal suite

You might get stranded on Easy Street
