Pearl’s A Singer Bernadette Peters

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

She wanted to be Betty Grable
But now she sits there at a beer stained table
Dreaming of the things she never got to do
Those dreams that nevеr come true

Pearl's a singеr
She stands up when she plays the piano
In a nightclub

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
