Chorus
First star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might
Have the wish I wish tonight.
A banker's daughter or a runaway girl,
A little lady or a honky-tonk Pearl
Has to find someplace in this world where she feels at home.
A banker's daughter is so hard to deceive;
A little lady is so hard to please.
Honky-tonk Pearl wears her heart on her sleeve and her heart will not grow cold.
Chorus
Here's a wish for a runaway girl;
Here's a prayer for honky-tonk Pearl -
Hope she finds someplace outta this world where she feels at home.
Chorus +
I wish I may, I wish I might...
Have the wish I wish tonight.
