Change your name to Miss-is Earl Scruggs

Pearl, Pearl, Pearl

You’ll get no love from Earl 

This here man is such a sap 

He won’t hold you on his lap

Un-less you are an ole five string ban-go 

Pearl, Pearl, Pearl

He’s nut-ty as a squir-rel

If you’ll be Miss-is Scruggs

We’ll live on kiss-es and hugs

Like Ju-liet and Ro-meo
