Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes

She's a rich girl

She don't try to hide it

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

He's a poor boy

Empty as a pocket

Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose

Sing, ta na na

Ta na na na

She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Ta na na

Ta na na na

She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

People say she's crazy

She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Well, that's one way to lose these walking blues

Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She was physically forgotten

Then she slipped into my pocket

With my car keys

She said you've taken me for granted

Because I please you

Wearing these diamonds

And I could say oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

As if everybody knows what I'm talking about

As if everybody you would know, exactly what I was talking about

Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She makes the sign of a teaspoon

He makes the sign of a wave

The poor boy changes clothes

And puts on after-shave

To compensate for his ordinary shoes

And she said, "Honey take me dancing"

But they ended up by sleeping in a doorway

By the bodegas and the lights on

Upper Broadway

Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes

And I could say oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

And everybody here would know what I was talking about

I mean everybody here would know exactly what I was talking about

Talking about diamonds

People say I'm crazy

I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes, yeah

Well, that's one way to lose these walking blues

Diamonds on the soles of your shoes
