Pearl
Pearl was a girl
A pearly girl
But not a girly girl
Not a softly softly
Sssssshhhhhh girl
Not a tiptoe
Through the tulips girl

Pearl was a girl
A pearly girl
But not a girly girl
Not a frills and frippery
Flowery girl
Not a powder puff
Perfume pom pom girl

Pearl was a girl
A pearly girl
But not a girly girl
Not a dainty delicate
Dew drop girl
Not a lavender lacy
Look at me me me girl

But a pearl. A pearl of a girl.
