Lyrics

My friend Rob didn't know what he was getting
Into when he put charcoal in a setting
Said when it becomes a diamond
There'll be a wedding

The key to carbon formation is pressure
Nature itself couldn't have done any better
Next time I saw them together
She flashed me the finger

She got a rock, she hit the mother load
She got a rock, with it's own zip code
Big enough to carve a president's face
Cost enough to put a man in space
It's a symbol of their love
She got a rock

Met a girl when I was five
Proposed to me by the playground slides
Said we would elope
When she learned to drive

Big wheels gave way to sports cars
Euro-trash guys with names like "Gilad"
One day I saw a flash of light
From the passenger side

< chorus >

One night at a party, by the chips
Saw a girl I couldn't skip
Worked my way across the room
Only then it came into view
A ring the size of a micro chip
So I had to pretend I liked the dip

If I ever decide to wed
Gonna do a favor to the other men
Buy her a ring so big
Her spine will bend

A ring's just a signal to the other guys
Makes her an honorary man in their eyes
It's like she's getting
A Y chromosome in a setting

She'll get a rock, she'll hit the mother load
She'll get a rock, with it's own zip code
Three months pay, more or less
We'll start the rest of our lives in debt
It's a symbol of our love
She'll get a rock
