PEARL OF THE QUARTER Lyrics

Artist: Steely Dan
Album: Countdown To Ecstacy

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 vous
CHORUS:
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

I walked alone down the miracle mile
I met my baby by the shine of the martyr
She stole my heart with her Cajun smile
Singing voulez vous
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 vous

CHORUS

Comments/Interpretations
by Shanky on 7/15/2008 10:36am I believe it's "voulez voulez voulez vous"
by Dr. Wu on 12/22/2008 8:25pm It's definitely "shrine of the martyr," but that's probably just a typo.
by throwbackgirl on 6/24/2011 8:25pm I can sing this song perfectly. I think this is my favorite one, besides King of the World.
by andyn43 on 7/12/2012 3:00am like razor boy, boston rag, your gold teeth and king of the world.
