Randy Newman Best Little Girl Lyrics

I once knew a girl
Her name was Barbara
The cutest little m___in you have ever seen
I was livin' in St. Louis
At the Chase Hotel
And she lived there
With her mommy and her daddy
And her little brother Skipper
Who was just thirteen

She went to church every morning
Said her prayers real loud every night
She was the best little girl
In the whole d___ town
Lord: Watch it. Devil
But you know I'm right
You know I'm right
One morning in the lobby
I whispered in her ear
"Honey it's too hot today to go to school
Whyn't you call up
That cute little lifeguard?
He's out by the hotel pool"
They drank all her daddy's whisky
They took all her mama's pills
They were found the next day
Drowned in their own vomit
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
