Ba, by, here's a five and dime
Ba, by, now's a 'bout the time

For a string of pearls a-la wool worth
Every pearl's a star above
Wrapped in dreams, and filled with love
That old string of pearls a-la wool worth

Till that happy day in spring
When you buy the wedding ring
Please, a string of pearls a-la wool worth
Ba, by you made quite a start

Found the way right to my heart
With a string of pearls a-la wool worth
Wait til the stars peek-a-boo
I've got something just for you

It's a string of pearls a-la wool worth
I found a love so sublime
Right in that old five and dime
With a string of pearls a-la wool worth
