Pearl stood at the door
She said, Come on in
And you had a meal like none other
You felt welcomed
You felt like family
And Pearl she was your grandmother
That's how it all went down
Down at the Spanish Kitchen
But how it all wound up
Could set you a-twitchin'
It was over on Beverly
And all the stars were there
There was Barrymore, Pickford and Hope
One day Johnny got sick
And they closed for vacation
When Pearl she found it hard to cope
Well Johnny up and died
And Pearl closed down the joint
But she left out the silver, the napkins and the chairs
What was once a gracious host
Was now tending to a ghost
Yeah it was spooky up the back stairs
