"Black Pearl"
1969 Sonny Charles and the Checkmates
by Toni Wine, Irwin Levine and Phil Spector

(ooh ooh ooh - hey hey yeh -ma ma ma ma babe)
Black pearl, precious little girl Let me put you up where you belong
Black pearl pretty little girl You been in the background much too long

You been working so hard your whole life through
Tendin' other people's houses Raisin' up their children too
Hey how about something for me and you
Here in my arms you're gonna reign supreme
No more servin' baby They're gonna serve my queen
It's our turn for happiness and our day has come
Living for each other answering to no one

Black pearl precious little girl Let me put you up where you belong
(Because I love you)
Black pearl pretty little girl You been in the background much too long

Together we'll stand so straight and so tall
Created by love to love one and all
Hey heart to heart soul to soul
No other one could ever take your place
My world is built around The very smile that's on your face
You'll never win a beauty show No they won't pick you
But you're my miss America - I love you

Black pearl precious little girl Let me put you up where you belong
(how I need you)
Black pearl pretty little girl You been in the background much too long

(scat over 2 choruses)

hoo hoo hoo yeh yeh yeh ma ma ma ma babe -- ooh ooh ooh
you know I need you - you know I want you
(un-intelligble?) now I dont know nobody else now babe I love you
