Randy Newman — Best Little Girl lyrics

Devil: Once knew a girl
Her name was Barbara
Cutest little muffin you have ever seen
Livin' in St. Louis
Chase Hotel
Lord: I know the place
D: And she lived there
With her mommy and her daddy
And her little brother Skipper
Who was just thirteen
Backup Devilettes: Just thirteen

D: Went to Church every morning
Said their Prayers real loud every night
She was the best little girl
In the whole damn town

Lord: Watch it, Devil

Devil: Sorry, Lord
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
And they took all her mama's pills
They were found the next day
Drowned in their own vomit
[Angels gasp]
Poor little fool
Poor little fool
