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 that's one way to lose
These walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of your
shoes
