The Lyrics
So many pearls down there, where do I begin?
I see this one, I reach my hand in
Though you said that it's not worth i-it
When there's a danger of poisonous fish
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Want to get them to get bloo-oody rich
Hey, I want some money, who doesn't? Get rich quick with a bit of divin' (divin')
Grabbin' 'em all is tricky, cause there's more than you would think, no lyin' (lyin')
Those clams along the bed of the ocean are jerks, they might have pearls inside 'em (-side 'em)
But it's a risk to go and look in all of 'em, it's tryin'
They're so shiny, I want 'em, but I'm not doubtin'
That a simple couple handful's enough, it's crazy
It's never enough, gotta get a whole bunch
Cause they're far from cheap, they're worth all of the bucks
Know it's easy to devalue stuff
When there's lots, but, see, to hold back makes me feel nuts
So many clams down there, where do I begin?
I see this one, I reach my hand in
You said it might not be worth it
When there's the issue of devalui-in'
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Want to get them to get a-awf'lly rich (yo)
Really, really, who wants a necklace
Made out of clam itchin' cream? Lots of us
Anyway, findin' the right kind of clam
Is tricky as shit, even then, value might be crap
Don't know much 'bout this stuff, man
C-C-C-C-Cause that's b-b-b-borin' crap
Waitin' for each pearl to be appraised, slow as
But if you ask me it's all worth it for cash
Hey, hey, what can I say?
Pay, p-p-pay, p-pay, p-pay, pay
W-W-W-Worth diggin' through muck and the sea urchins stabbin' me
I'm covered up so no ocean creature's jabbin' me
R-R-R-Really, I know all of the dangers, really
Preppin' for that fish poison comes nat'rally
When you've spent your whole life livin' in Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
So many clams down there, where do I begin?
I see this one, I reach my hand in
Sure, you said that it ain't worth i-it
When there's a risk of painful poisonin'
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Want to get them to get cra-azy rich
Pay, pay, pay, p-pay, pay
Pay, p-p-pay, p-pay, p-pay, pay
Pay, pay, pay, p-pay, pay
Pay, p-p-pay, p-pay, p-pay, pay
Pay, pay, pay, p-pay, pay
Pay, p-p-pay, p-pay, p-pay, pay
Pay, pay, pay, p-pay, pay
Pay, p-p-pay, p-pay, p-pay, pay
Pearls, at uh, hmm, uh, uh
Yo, where my pearls at, uh, mm, uh, uh, uh
Yo, where my pearls at, uh, mm, uh, uh, uh
Yo, where my pearls try g-get to sellin', sellin', sellin' (uh, mm, uh, uh, uh)
So many clams down there, where do I begin?
I see this one, I reach my hand in
All you've said's that it ain't worth i-it
But what I think is you wanna get in
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Where them pearls at, pearls at (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)?
Want to get them to get su-uper rich
