Ba - by, now's a - bout the time
For a string of pearls a - la Wool - worth. [E7-5]

Wrapped in dreams, and filled with love --
That old string of pearls a - la Wool - worth.

When you buy the wed - ding ring,
Please, a string of pearls a - la Wool - worth. [Bm7-5]

A+5 A6 A7 AM7 A AM7
Found the way right to my heart

With a string of pearls a - la Wool - worth.

Wait til the stars peek - a - boo,

I've got some - thing just for you --
It's a string of pearls a - la Wool - worth.

I found a love so sub - lime,
A+5 A6 A7 AM7 A AM7
Right in that old five and dime
With a string of pearls a - la Wool - worth.
