lyrics

"They wanna make me grow
just like a potato
They want me to go
on a diet, or so

But Mamma says she won't care for the pearl

Surrounded by weirdo
Oyster's life is just like a potato
cause we are too much and to and fro
to make the cutest necklace you ever saw

But Mamma says she won't care for the pearl
the size and brightness are only there to sell
Beside it's silly you're my queen of the shell
I called you Lily, your name sounds like a bell

She's the pearl of my life

Open your mind but not your body
I know you'll find the right one sweety
He's running somewhere he's handsome maybe
Love comes from nowhere you must get ready

to be the pearl of his life"
