Pearls

They say pearls before swine

I wanna get mine

Can't have em' before your time

Not for you to decide

She got em buried out back, next to the tree

In a wooden box, next to little Peetie,

the parakeet

We're bringing pearls back bringing em back

I tried to trade some pearls

To get a car, to get a job

But the man at the store, showed me the door

Said he hadn't sold a pearl since 74

Put em back in the ground, next to the tree

put em back in the box, next to little Peetie,

poor peetie

We're bringing pearls back bringing em back

Hey hey now a matter of fact

We're bringing pearls back, bringing em back

Hey hey hey

I try to get a viewing

They say the pearls make a woman

Yeah, that's what they say

Come on girls, give em a twirl

Search the back of your closet,

the bottom of your bureau

Wear em' loud , wear em' proud

Wear em' long, wear em' strong

Get em outta the ground,

Hang em' on a tree

Get em' out the box, leave Peetie in peace

We're bringing pearls back bringing back

Hey hey now we're on the attack

We're bringing pearls back,

bringing em back

Hey hey
