         My baby's the pearl of the Quarter 
 
     |  C          G       |         F     Em7  |

Vs. II.  Where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay 
 
     | C      G    |    F          Em7    | 
         Red beans and rice for a quarter 
 
     |  C        G         |     F   Em7   | 
         You can see her almost any day

         Won't you tell her I say hello 
 
  |  Dbm7/Ab    C7/G  | Bm7/F#  Bb7/F   | 
         Please make it clear   when her 
 
      |  Am7/E  Ab7/Eb    |       Dm7      C  |

(Chords for vs. 3 & 4 same as for vs. 1 & 2) 
 
Vs.III.  I walked alone down the miracle mile 
         I met my baby by the shrine of the martyr 
         She stole my heart with her cajun smile 
         Singin' voulez voulez voulez vous 
 
Vs. IV.  She loved the million-dollar words I say 
         She loved the candy and the flowers that I bought her 
         She said she loved me and was on her way 
         Singin' voulez voulez voulez vous
