Pearl Of The Quarter lyrics
Song information
Artist: Steely Dan Album: Countdown To Ecstasy
Lyrics
On the water down in new orleans My baby's the pearl of the quarter She's a charmer like you never seen Singing voulez vous Where the sailor spend his hard-earned pay Red beans and rice for a quarter You can see her almost any day Singing voulez voulez voulez vous
Chorus:
And if you hear from my louise Won't you tell her I say hello Please make it clear When her day is done She got a place to go
I walked alone down the miracle mile I met my baby by the shrine of the martyr She stole my heart with her cajun smile Singing voulez voulez voulez us She loved the million dollar words I say She loved the candy and the flowers that I bought her She said she loved me and was on her way Singing voulez voulez voulez vous
Chorus x 2
And if you hear from my louise Won't you tell her I love her so Please make it clear When her day is done She got a place to go
