Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes (Paul Simon cover)
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 She got 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 oo oo oo As if everybody knows What I'm talking about As if everybody 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 oo oo oo As if 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 Well thats one way to lose These walking blues
