Lyrics:

B. R. Hornsby/John HornsbyWell she was so fineOn the first impressionI was taken, taken in by the viewWith eyes so softAnd a face so smoothI found her selling in a fashion boothAll that I said was 'Do you sell suits?'She said you're a scream and your accent's so cuteHer mother had to meet me, it all sounded funnyBut then my friends told me well the girls got moneyIt's alright, It's okayHey don't you worry about a thingYou're the king today but there's a price you may payIf you take your seat in the royal suiteYou might get stranded on easy streetWell she said she wasA good time girlLaughing laughing a bit too loudSuch a faceThe specialist createsShe gets the benefit of the doubtI know that she wanted more than I could giveBut I just had to see how the other half livedShe showed me her friends, she showed me her throneI didn't sell my soul I just took out a loanIt's alright, It's okayHey don't you worry about a thingYou're the king today but there's a price you may payIf you take your seat in the royal suiteYou might get stranded on easy streetShe runs to her mother the social x-ray starShe put me at the wheel of her father's new carShe loved how her touch made me want to drive fartherShe loved how her money meant she'd tell me how farIt's alright, It's okayHey don't you worry about a thingYou're the king today but there's a price you may payIf you take your seat in the royal suiteYou might get stranded on easy street
