pearls and wine
pretty things
you can have everything
if you'd be my queen
I've got a yacht as big as the taj mahal
oh, you can have the world
if you can win my want
2nd Verse:
pearls and diamonds
a house on the hill
I use the change in my ashtray
just to pay my bills
fifth avenue is the driveway to my home
you can have the world if you win my want
Chorus:
but without you I'm afraid I would fall apart
cities would crumble
skies would go dark
stock brokers jumping out of ten story windows
no one wants to see so many good wives widowed
3rd Verse:
down at the Savoy
I'm the one to swing them out
down at the Yea Man
I'm the heppest cat in town
all the bad girls of the Cotton Club
are all jealous of you
they all want to swing it
big cat daddy blue
if you want it
you better strut it out
and if you got it
you better put out
