From the islands comes a story Of the giant clam Where a young man for a lady Takes his life in hand Down He dives through water green Until he can't be seen Big pearl She is waiting, hesitating Hallucinating too On the cliff top Will he come back From the sea of blue Down To the cave of the giant clam To return with pearl in hand Big pearl Soon the bubbles fill the water And the people dance When a young man takes a lady Then he takes a chance Big pearl Make a lifetime be a dream Make a woman feel a queen Big pearl, big pearl Big pearl, big pearl Big pearl, big pearl Big pearl, big pearl Big pearl, big pearl
