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.
