Elkie Brooks - Pearl's A Singer lyrics

Pearl's a singer, she stands up

When she plays the piano in the night club

Pearl's a singer, she sings songs

For the lost and the lonely

Her job is entertaining folks

Singing songs and telling jokes

In the 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 the night club

Pearl's a singer, she sings songs

For the lost and the lonely

Her job is entertaining folks

Singing songs and telling jokes

In the nightclub

Pearl's a singer, she stands up

When she plays the piano in the night club

Pearl's a singer, she sings songs

For the lost and the lonely

Her job's entertaining folks

Singing songs, telling jokes

In the nightclub
