Little black girl in a red dress
On a hot night with a broken shoe
little black girl you shoulde never left home
There's probly someone that's still waitin' up for you
It's cold back in Chicago
But in Los Angeles its worse
When all you got is $29.00 and an alligator purse

I see already that vulture in the Fleetwood
With the startruse hood
Can see you're trying to get you bearings
And you say hey which ways the main stem
And where ever you say you're from
He'll say he grew up there himself

And he'll comeon and makes you feel
Like you grew up right next door to him
And you say take a left on a central
And he throws it in reverse
Cause you only got $29.00 and an alligator purse

And he'll come on like a gentleman
And you'll be a little shy
You say you ex old man was a sax player
He'll say baby I used to play bass for sly
And you say you like his Cadillac, say honey, I got 2 or 3
He'll say sweetheart you're sure fortunate
That you ran into me
When you've done a dime in the joint
You figure nothin' could be worse
And you got $29.00 and an alligator purse

Well he got Pharoh on the 8 track
You start smokin' a little boo
You thinkin' gettin' out of Chicago was the
Best thing that ever happened to you
Startin' to like it already
This cat seems to be cool
And he says honey I know a good hotel out in West Hollywood
That'd be just right for you
But he ain't no good Samaritan
He'll make sure he's reimbursed
Lot more than $29.00 and an alligator purse

Now when the streets get hungry, baby
You almost hear them growl
Someone's setting a place for you
When the dogs begin to howl
Well, the streets are dead
They creep up and down when it was left on the pole
Remember suckers always make mistakes
When they're far away from home
Chicken in a pot
Whoever gets there first
Gonna get himself $29.00 And an alligator purse

Now the sirens just an epilog
The cops here always get there too late
They always stop for coffee on the way to the scene of the crime
Then they always try so hard to look just like movie stars
They couldn't catch a cold
Baby don't waste your dime
And she's lucky to be alive
The doctor whispered to the nurse
She only lost a 1/2 pint of blood
$29.00 and an alligator purse
