I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen
And she could drink more wine than I’d ever seen
She had some gypsies’ blood flowing through her feet
And when the time was right she said that I would meet
My destiny

I traveled round the world to find the sun
I couldn’t stop myself from having fun

And then one day I met an Indian girl
And she made me forget this troubled world
We’re living in

I had a strange dream. In my hair
I saw a pearly queen lying there
And all around her feet flowers bloomed
But they were made of silk and sequins two by two
