PEARL'S A SINGER
written by Dino, Sembello, Leiber, Stoller, and Vescoli
included in the musical "Smokey Joe's Cafe"
recorded by Elkie Brooks and Bernadette Peters among others
(sung in Episode of "Compromising Postitions" - Season 1)
(transcribed by Martine Dupuis)
Pearl's a singer, she stands up,
When she plays the piano in the 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 the 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 the 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 the nightclub
Pearl's a singer, she stands up
When she plays the piano in the 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 the night club
