Pearl's a singer (Video)

Pearl's a singer
She stands up when she plays the piano
in a nightclub.

Pearl's a singer
She sings songs for the lost and the lonely
Her job is entertaining folks,
singings songs and telling jokes
in a nightclub (fine)

Pearl's a singer
And they say that she once was a winner
in a contest.

Pearl's a singer
And they say that she once cut a record
They played it for a week or so
on the local radio
It never made it.

She wanted to be Betty Grable*
But now she sits there at that beer stained table,
dreaming of the things she never got to do,
all those dreams that never came true.

da capo al fine (bis)


*So she'd rather be a stripper than a singer?!?
