Pearl's a Singer

Pearl's a singer
She stands up, when she plays the piano in a nighclub

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
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
