PEARL OF THE QUARTER Steely Dan
-------------------- Countdown To Ecstasy
Intro: | | | | |
| | |
Vs. I. On the water down in New Orleans
| | |
My baby's the pearl of the Quarter
| | |
She's a charmer like you've never seen
| | |
Singin' voulez voulez voulez vous
| | |
Vs. II. Where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay
| | |
Red beans and rice for a quarter
| | |
You can see her almost any day
| | |
Singin' voulez voulez voulez vous
| / / | / | /
Chorus: And if you hear from my Louise
/ | |
Won't you tell her I say hello
| / / | / |
Please make it clear when her
| / / | |
Day is done she's got a place to go
(DO INTRO FOR TURNAROUND)
(Chords for vs. 3 & 4 same as for vs. 1 & 2)
Vs.III. I walked alone down the miracle mile
I met my baby by the shrine of the martyr
She stole my heart with her cajun smile
Singin' voulez voulez voulez vous
Vs. IV. 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
Singin' voulez voulez voulez vous
