Pearl Of The Quarter

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-voulez-voulez-vous" Where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay Red beans and rice for a quarter You can see her almost any day Singing, "voulez-voulez-voulez-vous" 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 got a place to go 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 Singing, "voulez-voulez-voulez-vous" She loved the million dollar words I'd say She loved the candy and the flowers that I bought her She said she loved me and was on her way Singing, "voulez-voulez-voulez-vous" 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 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
