The Pearl That Glitters

SHOLTO - The Pearl That Glitters

Instrumental cover of Tin Pan Alley by Stevie Ray Vaughan

Tin Pan Alley - Stevie Ray Vaughan

77️ PianoBananas

[Verse 1]
There’s lipstick smudged on a ransom note,
A diamond gone missin’ from a mink fur coat.
The band played on, while a glass got spiked—
And somebody vanished ‘round quarter to midnight.

[Verse 2]
A dame with a laugh that could melt gold bars,
Said she danced with a man who smoked Cuban cigars.
But the bartender swears he saw her first,
Slip a little secret in the saxman’s purse.

[Chorus]
Feathers, fedoras, and fibs on the floor,
Every smile’s a story, every glance is a war.
You can’t trust a wink, can’t trust a toast—
The truth’s just a rumor wearin’ pearls like a ghost.

[Verse 3]
There’s a shadow in the powder room, lookin’ slick,
Might be the cop—or the con with the trick.
A fedora’s tipped low, and nobody talks,
‘Cept the band, and the beat, and the tick of the clocks.

[Bridge – Slow swing breakdown, jazzy noir mood]
The flapper’s cryin’ but her mascara’s dry,
The trumpet confesses while the violins lie.
You wanna play detective? Then dance real slow—
Clues hide in rhythm when the lights get low.

[Verse 4]
Someone yelled “Freeze!” but the band played hot,
And three lies danced in a Lindy Hop.
I ducked out back with a flask and grin,
Said, “Tell the cops I’ve never been!”

[Final Chorus – All in, sultry and sly]
Feathers, fedoras, and fibs in the air,
Where every heel click’s a double-dare.
Truth ain’t clean—it drinks and spins—
And the best kind o’ trouble always wears sequins.

[Outro – Spoken, smoky]
“Murder? No, sugar... just a little misunderstanding.
Now pour me a drink and play that sax slow…”

Feathers, Fedoras & Fibs
