The Mamas & The Papas - Pearl

Copied!

First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

A banker's daughter or a runaway girl
A little lady or a honky-tonk Pearl
Has to find someplace in this world
Where she feels at home
A banker's daughter is so hard to deceive;
A little lady is so hard to please
Honky-tonk Pearl wears her heart on her sleeve
And her heart will not grow cold

First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

Here's a wish for a runaway girl;
Here's a prayer for honky-tonk Pearl---
Hope she finds someplace outta this world
Where she feels at home

First star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might...
First star (first star)
I see tonight (I see tonight)
I wish I may, I wish I might...
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight

edit bio

The Mamas and the Papas were a folk rock and psychedelic pop vocal group who recorded and performed on 1965–1968. They’re a defining force in the music scene of the counterculture of the ‘60s—the hippie movement.

Their sound was based on vocal harmonies arranged by John Phillips, the songwriter, musician, and leader of the group who adapted folk to the new beat style of the early sixties.

The Mamas & The Papas released a total of five studio albums and seventeen singles over a four-year period, six of which made the Billboard top ten, and have sold close to 40 million records worldwide. These hit singles were:

No. 4: “California Dreamin'” No. 1: “Monday, Monday” No. 5: “I Saw Her Again” No. 5: “Words of Love” No. 2: “Dedicated to the One I Love” No. 5: “Creeque Alley” The band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 for their contributions to the music industry. The band reunited briefly to record the album People Like Us in 1971, but had ceased touring and performing by that time.
