SHE CAME DOWN FROM CALIFORNIA
IN A RUSTED BLUE NEW YORKER
A FRIEND NAMED PADAGONIA
TOOK ME ASIDE TO TRY TO WARN ME
SHE'S A STUBBORN AND- ILL TEMPERED GIRL

IN THE DIM LIGHTS OF THE BAR ROOM SHE LOOKED LIKE
GENE HARLOW IN HER PRIME
A STARLET PARADIGM OFF A MOVIE SCREEN WITH FLAXEN HAIR
NO WORSE FOR WEAR

A GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL DOLL
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ARE

I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE
THEY ALL CAME UP AND TOLD US
THE FLOWERED PRINT ON YOUR DRESS
CAUGHT MY EYEI MUST CONFESS
I DIDN'T KNOW HER NAME, I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME

GREAT BIG BEAUTIFUL DOLL
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LUCKY YOU ARE
LIKE A SILVER STAR
FAMED AND SURE TO GO FAR

SHE'S LOOKING FOR THE PLACE AND TIME
JUST SEARCHING FOR SOME PEACE OF MIND

SHE 'LL HAVE EVERYTHING HER HEART DESIRES
BRAVE LA AND THE WORLD ENTIRE
THEY ALL SAY SHE'S A WASTE OF TIME
BUT I KNOW DIFFERENT
