You should wear your red galoshesWalking o'er the city prideStreets are paved with heaven's penniesGutters full of suicidesTeddy steadily fell from graceSomewhere near ArcadiaOnce she overheard a voiceThat she didn't hear on the radioVelvet gloves and country clubsWere never going to hold herRinging the necks of sillySouthern bellesWho wanted to scold her[Chorus]Don't bring me downI'm trouble boundBlue songRed AlertWho made Stella Hurt?Teddy soon dropped out of sightTurned up in another townChanged her name for the spotlightLetras de cancionesSinging like a blue bird in a sequin gownShe finally fell and married wellBut I knew it wouldn't lastReversing back into the limelightNo one ever saw her even half-plastered[Chorus]Then she saw those soldier boysThrow their bonnets in the airSelf-made men would pledge their fortunesAnd dream of herAnd dream of her...Generals in the commissary opened up a case of wineChecked the perfume of the corkSaid "Made in 1929"...They used her up, to raise morale for moneyAnd Old GloryHer voice was shot beyond repairBut this is not the last act of this storyThe night is black as cracked shellacAbandoned in an atticStella is silent as the graveUntil the needle drags her through the static[Chorus] From Letras Mania
