pearly queen

i bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen

and she could drink more wine

than i'd ever seen

she had some gypsies' blood flowing through her feet

and when the time was right

she said that i would meet my destiny

i traveled round the world to find the sun

i couldn't stop myself from having fun

then one day i met an indian girl

and she made me forget this troubled world we're living in
