about

On the first day of May the village of Smugville has its peasant rolling festival. This is nothing to do with May Day, it's just another way to keep the poor in their place!

lyrics

Here comes Mr. Pearl. He got his maths at M.I.T.
Got a special brain and his colleagues all agree
All hail Mr. Pearl, All hail Mr. P
Like to laugh behind his back. There’s a side they never see

CHORUS
Don’t rile Mr. Pearl (or make him angry)
Don’t rile Mr. Pearl (or make him mad)
Don’t rile Mr. Pearl (you wouldn’t like it)
Don’t rile Mr. Pearl (he’s such a cad)

He’s got a special room. Where he drinks a cup of tea
Keeps his special things. That his colleagues never see
All hail Mr. Pearl, All hail Mr. P
They want to get away. Chained to a settee.

CHORUS

He wasn’t always born this way but something fused inside
Though America’s really tolerant. He knew he had to hide
Thank God it’s superficial, and no one probes too deep
Just ignore those little men and hope they stay asleep

Here comes Mrs. Pearl, you just can’t disagree
She keeps herself in shape through yoga and tai-chi
All hail Mrs. Pearl. All hail Mrs. P
A world to put in shape. She's such a busy

CHORUS 2
Don’t rile Mrs. Pearl (or make her angry)
Don’t rile Mrs. Pearl (or make her bad)
Don’t rile Mrs. Pearl (you wouldn’t like it)
Don’t rile Mrs. Pearl (she’s such a cad)

The boys like Mrs Pearl and they don’t complain
Invites them in for tea. Never seen again
All hail Mrs Pearl, all hail Mrs P
They won’t ever talk. Never sets them free

Chorus and out
