Lyrics Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes - Live - Paul Simon

She′s a rich girl (oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh)
And she don't try to hide it
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes

And he′s a, and he's a poor boy
Empty as a pocket
Empty as a pocket with nothin' to lose

Sing ta-na-na
(Ta-na-na)
Ta-na-na, na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Sing ta-na-na
(Ta-na-na)
Uhm, ta-na-na, na
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Uhm-mm-mm-mm
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Uhm-mm-mm-mm
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Uhm-mm-mm-mm
She got 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 walkin' blues
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
Wearin' these diamonds"

And I could say (oo-oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh)
As if everybody knows what I′m talkin' about
As if everybody here would know what I was talkin′ about
Talk about diamonds on the soles of her shoes

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

She makes the sign of a teaspoon
He makes the sign of a wave
The poor boy changes clothes, and he puts on after-shave
To compensate for his ordinary shoes

And she said, "Honey, take me dancin'"
But they ended up by sleeping in a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on Upper Broadway
Wearing diamonds on the soles of her shoes

And I could say (oo-oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooh)
And if everybody here would know what I was talkin' about
I mean everybody here would know exactly what I was talkin′ about
I′m talkin' about diamonds
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

People say I′m crazy
I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes, yeah
Well, that's one way to lose these walkin′ blues
Diamonds on the soles of our shoes

Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na

Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na-a-a
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na

Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
Ta-na-na-na-na, ta-na-na-na-na
