The song Pearly Queen is performed by Traffic in the album named Smiling Phases in the year 1991 .
I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen
She could drink more wine than I'd ever seen
She had some gypsies' blood flowing through her feet
And when the time was right she said that I would meet my destiny
I traveled round the world to find the sun
I couldn't stop myself from having fun
And then one day I met an Indian girl
And she made me forget this troubled world we're living in, yeah
I had a strange dream, in my hair
I saw a pearly queen lying there
And all around her feet flowers bloomed
But they were made of silk and sequins two by two
I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen
She could drink more wine than I'd ever seen
She had some gypsies' blood flowing through her feet
And when the time was right she said that I would meet my destiny
I traveled round the world to find the sun
I couldn't stop myself from having fun
Then one day I met an Indian girl
And she made me forget this troubled world we're living in
