Steely Dan - Pearl of The Quarter текст песни

On the water down in new orleans

My babys the pearl of the quarter

Shes 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

Wont 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
