pride and joy
To California shame

And hit the Streets of
San Francisco
Runnin' for her life

A week in cosmetology two

in a secretarial pool

Now desk clerks and bell hops

And the folks of Tampa know her
by her mama's disgrace

All through the day she sits alone and

dreams of Tampa High

goes down every night

For now a John will come along
and take her for the night
