Poor Lil

There was a little girl
She was a beauty!
She lived in a house
Of ill-reputee
The men would come
From miles away
Just to see Poor Lil
In her negligee!
Cho:
Poor Lil, boomp de-ahda
De-ahda dahdah
Poor Lil, boomp de-ahda
De-ahda dahdah

Now, deep in the depths
Of her dishonor
Lil felt the hand
Of the Lord upon 'er
She said, "Dear Lord
"I do repent
"But that's still gonna cost ya
"Just seventy-five cent!
Cho:
Poor Lil, boomp de-ahda
De-ahda dahdah
Poor Lil, boomp de-ahda
De-ahda dahdah
So ends the story of..
Poor Lil!
