Pearl's A Singer

"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 lonely

Her job is entertaining folks

Singing songs and telling jokes

In a nightclub

 

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..."

 

PEARL'S A SINGER - Elkie Brooks, 1977.
