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 |
|
Ta na na na |
|
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes |
|
Ta na na |
|
Ta na na |
|
Ta na na |
|
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes |
|
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes(rich girl) |
|
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes(poor boy) |
|
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 Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo ooo |
|
As if everybody knows |
|
What I was talking about |
|
As if everybody here would know |
|
Exactly what I was talking about |
|
Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes |
|
Oo ooo |
|
Oo-oo |
|
Oo ooo |
|
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 |
|
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 Oo oo oo oo oo oo oo oo ooo |
|
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 |
|
Oo oo oo ooo |
|
Oo oo o o ooo |
|
People say I'm crazy |
|
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes |
|
Well that's one way to lose |
|
These walking blues |
|
Diamonds on the soles of our shoes |
|
