《String of Pearls》歌词

[00:00:12] She swings the string of pearls on the corner

[00:00:17] The street lights reflect the light in the water

[00:00:22] The string it snaps and the pearls go sailing

[00:00:27] And they splash and bounce and roll cross the wet street

[00:00:32] As she bends to chase the pearls a car swings round the corner

[00:00:37] She darts from the eyes of the panic-struck driver

[00:00:41] Whos racing to the delivery room

[00:00:46] Cause in the back seat his wife is busting out of her womb

[00:00:56] And the sack breaks and out come the siamese twins

[00:01:01] Who grow up to become the first president

[00:01:06] With two heads

[00:01:09] Are better than one

[00:01:15] He puts his heads in his hands says I got to put my heads together

[00:01:20] I can become the best president ever

[00:01:25] And not just president

[00:01:29] Fend for yourself

[00:01:53] Signs his name takes the blame for all of the names with no shame

[00:02:00] In their beliefs

[00:02:02] They adjourn and they leave and in walks a man

[00:02:07] With a broom and a knife and blood on his hands

[00:02:11] And he sweeps everything under the rug

[00:02:16] And goes home to his kids and gives them a hug

[00:02:20] But his wife was not there she had just left a letter

[00:02:25] That said youd be much better off without me

[00:02:39] Now his wife took the train to her ex-lovers funeral

[00:02:43] Who died in the bathroom hit his head on a urinal

[00:02:47] When they got together the knowledge was carnal

[00:02:52] And the widow was at the funeral and they had quite a catfight

[00:02:57] And they fell into the hole where the casket was resting

[00:03:01] And the preacher just left in the middle of the service

[00:03:06] Cause death was one thing but women made him nervous

[00:03:10] And he ran to his car and he drove round the corner

[00:03:33] Then something in the street caught the light in his eye

[00:03:37] He pulled over reached down and picked up a pearl from the gutter

[00:03:44] And he didnt know what to think

[00:03:47] And he brought it home and washed it in the sink

[00:03:52] And he gave the pearl to sister mary teresa

[00:03:57] Who could not accept it so she gave it to lisa

[00:04:02] A young prostitute who was missing a pearl

[00:04:06] On the necklace that broke late last night
