Sparkling Diamonds From out of a stash They told me I could take ´em And turn ´em into cash I took ´em to the corner
To the dolly shop man He said, son, I should inform you Just so you understand
I´m not an operator I´m not here to take you in I´m not here to tell your fortune Or listen to your sins I got nothing to sell you I would never rob or steal But I´ll be sure to tell you If your diamonds ain´t for real
That´s why you can trust me You know you can You´re getting it straight At the regular rate From the dolly shop man
It´s always open season Somebody looking for a slice There ain´t no rhyme or reason To the tumbling dice I got nothing to sell you I would never rob or steal But I´ll be sure to tell you If your diamonds ain´t for real A parcel of preachers Talking heaven and hell They never quit the speeches They´re always doing well I got nothing to sell you I would never rob or steal But I´ll be sure to tell you If your diamonds ain´t for real
That´s why you can trust me You know you can You´re getting it straight At the regular rate From the dolly shop man
