In a nightclub
She sings songs for the lost and the lonely
Pearl’s a singer
Singing songs and telling jokes
In a nightclub
She sings songs for the lost and the lonely
All those dreams that never came true
Pearl’s a singer
On the local radio, it never made it
But now she sits there at that beer stained table
In a contest
And they say that she once was a winner
Pearl’s a singer
Her job is entertaining folks
They played it for a week or so
Her job is entertaining folks
Dreaming of the things she never got to do
Singing songs and telling jokes
And they say that she once cut a record
In a nightclub
She stands up when she plays the piano
She wanted to be Betty Grable
Pearl’s a singer
Pearl’s a singer
