Lyrics

YOU TAKE THE DIAMONDS

IF A GIRLS BEST FRIEND'S A DIAMOND
AND A MANS BEST FRIEND'S A DOG
THEN WE DON'T NEED ANY LAWYERS
DIVIDIN' OUR STUFF AT ALL

THE DIAMONDS WERE LIKE LITTLE STEPPIN STONES
ON YOUR GLITTERIN PATH OF EXCESS
WHILE FINDIN A BONE THE DOG COULD KNOW ON
MADE ME A HOWLIN SUCCESS

CHORUS
SO YOU TAKE THE DIAMONDS
AND I'LL TAKE THE DOG
SURELY THAT'S A SPLIT
WE BOTH AGREE UPON

YOU NEED YOUR TINY TREASURES
AND I NEED SOME LOYALTY
SO YOU TAKE THE DIAMONDS BUT
THE DOG STAYS WITH ME

WHILE YOU WERE OUT ALL NIGHT LIKE A VAMPIRE
PREYIN ON THE BLUEBLOODS AND THE FAMOUS
ME AND THE DOG FINALLY FIGURED OUT
THAT YOU WERE TOO HIGH-FALOOTIN TO CLAIM US

DARN THE LUCK YOU GOT A JUNKYARD MUTT
AND A HUSBAND WITH NO PEDIGREE
WE'RE 'BOUT A COUNTRY MILE FROM YOUR PENTHOUSE STYLE
SLUMMIN' DOWN HERE IN THE HUMANE SOCIETY

REPEAT CHORUS

TAG:
YOU TAKE THE DIAMONDS BUT,
THE DOG STAYS,
WITH ME....
