A String Of Pearls
Jerry Gray, Eddie DeLange
[Verse 1]
Baby, here's a five and dime
Baby, now's a 'bout the time
For a string of pearls a-la wool worth
Every pearl's a star above
Wrapped in dreams, and filled with love
That old string of pearls a-la wool worth
'Til that happy day in Spring
When I buy the wedding ring
Please, a string of pearls a-la wool worth
[Instrumental break]
[Verse 2]
Baby I made quite a start
Found the way right to your heart
With a string of pearls a-la wool worth
Wait 'til the stars peek-a-boo
I've got something just for you
It's a string of kisses for baby
I found a love so sublime
Right in that old five and dime
With a string of pearls a-la wool worth
