ZZ Top - Pearl Necklace

Lyrics:

She's really upset with me again,

I didn't give her what she likes.

I don't know what to tell her,

Don't know what to say.

Everything got funky last night.



She was really bombed,

And I was really blown away,

Until I asked her what she wanted,

And this is what she had to say:

A pearl necklace.

She wanna pearl necklace.

She wanna pearl necklace.



She gets a charge out of bein' so weird,

Digs gettin' downright strange.

But I can keep a handle on anything,

Just this side of deranged.



She was gettin' bombed,

And I was gettin' blown away,

And she held it in her hand

And this is what she had to say:

A pearl necklace.

She wanna pearl necklace.

She wanna pearl necklace.



She is so tough, as pure as the driven slush.

And that's not true what she's talkin' about, [see notes]

It really don't cost that much.



She was gettin' bombed,

And I was gettin' blown away,

And she took it in her hand,

And this is what she had to say:

A pearl necklace.

She wanna pearl necklace.

She wanna pearl necklace.
