"What's your name, little buttercup?
That's for me to know and you to make up
"

Intro[]

Smarty is a song from the Lana Del Ray a.k.a. Lizzy Grant Album, listed as Track 2. It was written by

Lanadelrayakalizzygrant

herself and David Kahne, and is 3 minutes 4 seconds long. It is registered on her ASCAP.

Two earlier versions exists, one demo and one acoustic demo version. Both with an extended second to last verse;

"Preferably with smoking inside
If you can swing it

Maybe with a post office attached to it, Chickens running in and out of it, Somewhere like that in New Mexico or Route 66

Can I be real pleased if we could find one just like here
Again, again, again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again, again, again"

Another song on that site is registered as Gas Station. This is either an alternate title or an alternate version. It is believed, not confirmed, to be a newer/remastered version that did not make the cut for the Born To Die Album.

It is another song of the simple things in life.

Lyrics[]

Give me coffee, king-sized cup
Come on, kitty cat, fill her up
What's your name, little buttercup?
That's for me to know and you to make up

Love casinos, Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me, take me to the gas station
Gas station

Look at you smoking in them neon lights
Under the thunder, yeah, you like so nice
Made me wonder how you spend them nights
Me, I spend them looking for men I like
Like you
Like you
Like you

Love casinos and Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me, take me to the gas station
Take me to the gas station

Give me coffee, Utah love
I'm the kind of girl you dream of
I'm trying to tell you what I dream of
And that's gas stations
With slurpee machines and organs playing

Preferably with smoking inside
If you can swing it
Can I be real pleased if we could find one just like here
Again, again, again, again, again, again
Again, again, again, again, again, again

Love casinos and Indian reservations
But, baby, if you love me, take me to the gas station
Gas station
Gas station
Gas station
Gas station
