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