I bought a sequined suit from a pearly queen
And she could drink more wine than I've ever seen
She had some gypsy's 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
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
And she could drink more wine than I've ever seen
And she had some gypsy's blood flowing through her feet
And when the time was right she said that I would meet my destiny
Yeah

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
