Pearl's a Singer
  (Music and Lyrics By Ralph Dino, John Sembello, Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller)



Pearl's a singer, she stands up
When she plays the piano in a 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 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 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 a nightclub.
Pearl's a singer, she stands up
When she plays the piano in a 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 a nightclub.
