Elkie Brooks — Pearl's a Singer lyrics

Lyrics

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
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
