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
Sing Ta na na
Ta na na na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
People say she's crazy
She's got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Yeah that's one way to lose these walking blues
Wearing these diamonds on the soles of her shoes
She was physically forgotten
But 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 on the soles of her shoes
And I could say, Oo oo oo
As if everybody knows what I'm talking about
As if everybody know exactly what I'm talkin' 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 aftershave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes
She says, "Honey take me dancing"
But then they ended up by sleeping in a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on upper Broadway
Wearing these diamonds on the soles of their shoes
And I could say, Oo oo oo
As if everybody knows what I'm talkin' about
As if everybody know exactly what I'm talkin' about
Talkin' about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
And I could say, Oo oo oo
And I could say, Oo oo oo
Talkin' about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
