Looks like you’ve gone and moved up town gal,
You’ve gone and got yourself a wealthy man,
Looks like you’ve gone and moved up town gal,
Now don’t pretend you don’t know who I am.
Your newfound face I hardly recognize at all,
‘Cause I can barely see you
through your Ivory castle walls,
And every high society country club
welcomes you in dance hall,
You’ve become the belle of the ball.
Looks like you’ve gone and moved up town gal,
Fancy clothes, fancy car, and fancy house,
Looks like you’ve gone and moved up town gal,
Imagine you and me when we were down and out
We shared something priceless
even tough our purse was small,
I guess money can buy happiness after all.
It looks you’ve gone and thrown away
your agony and doll,
‘cause you’ve become the belle of the ball.
Guess I’ll be heading on my way now,
I know I’m not a welcomed guest,
But I just had a few last things to say gal,
I hope you know I wish you nothing but the best.
Just remember when you’re standing
on your pedestal so tall,
The higher up you go,
the further down you’ll fall,
What a woman you once were if I do so recall,
But now you’re the belle of the ball,
Now you’re the belle of ball
Now you’re the belle of the ball
