about

007 travels to the South Seas to investigate reports of dastardly plans by Professor I.M.A. Klam, the mild-mannered billionaire pearl harvester, who may, as it turns out, have plans for world domination, functioning as the head of the secret criminal organization O.Y.S.T.E.R. (Organization of Youthful Seafarers Terrible, Eerie, and Rude). Seduced by a nubile Polynesian beauty named Black Pearl, Bond finds himself a prisoner within Klam's underwater compound where he faces the danger of being fed to the Professor's pet Giant Clam.

lyrics

a pearl to die for
she'll string you along
and leave you to suffer
the rarest of stones
her heart is another's
and she'll lure you deep

cultivated and wild
she'll tell you the world is her oyster
whiter than snow, blacker than onyx
the price is so steep

you'd best take my advice
beg, steal, and borrow
you'll be diving deep for love
and drowning in sorrow

a pearl to die for
her wisdom runs deep
but like swine you ignore it
iridescent and lustrous
but is it all real?
the way she makes you feel

you'd best take my advice
beg, steal, and borrow
you'll be diving deep for love
and drowning in sorrow
