She once was so beautiful
A princess in high school
Now she’s doing drugs
She doesn’t suffer fools
Use to be she thought one time
She’d be a singer of a song
She once thought she’s talented
Those thoughts are all but gone
Her dreams are all in the past
She’s lost all her grace
Dollars in her garter
She’s the queen of this place

She’s the lady on the stage
They say her name is Pearl
Workin’ for a buck
Ya, she’s a dancin’ girl
She dances on the stage
In her ten minute show
Entertainin’ all the guys
Her real name we don’t know
Her real name we don’t know

They say her name is Pearl
The lady on the stage
Workin’ hard for dollars
‘Cause her bills must be paid
Time and time and time again
She had to make her rent
Dancin’ for the guys
‘Cause her money’s all been spent
Ain’t no move she hasn’t done
No part she ain’t shown
It’s all in her act
She’s dancin’ all alone

She’s the lady on the stage
They say her name is Pearl
Workin’ for a buck
Ya, she’s a dancin’ girl
She dances on the stage
In her ten minute show
Entertainin’ all the guys
Her real name we don’t know
Her real name we don’t know

Oh, she does oscillate
Ya, she is movin’ round
Shakin’ to the music
Swayin’ to the sound
Balanced on platform heels
She does a chasse spin
The song seems oh so long
So she does it all again
She don’t make no eye contact
When she looks in your face
She’s dancin’ for a living
The music sets her pace

She’s the lady on the stage
They say her name is Pearl
Workin’ for a buck
Ya, she’s a dancin’ girl
She dances on the stage
In her ten minute show
Entertainin’ all the guys
Her real name we don’t know
Her real name we don’t know

Her mind is altered every night
When she’s on the stage
She’s still thinks she’s fit
But she’s showin’ her age
She dances best when she’s high
Way up on the poll
Pills will get her through the night
This life takes a toll
She doesn’t like her job
She won’t even pretend
Workin’’till the sun comes up
When will this all end

She’s the lady on the stage
They say her name is Pearl
Workin’ for a buck
Ya, she’s a dancin’ girl
She dances on the stage
In her ten minute show
Entertainin’ all the guys
Her real name we don’t know
Her real name we don’t know
