Pearl's A Singer - Elkie Brooks

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

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

Singing songs and telling jokes

In a nightclub

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’s entertaining folks

Singing songs and telling jokes

In a nightclub…
