Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes Songtext
von Paul Simon

People say she′s crazy
She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Well, that's one way to lose these walking blues
Diamonds on the soles of her shoes

She was physically forgotten
And 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
And I could say

Diamonds

Diamonds
Diamonds
Diamonds
Diamonds
Diamonds
Diamonds
Diamonds
Diamonds


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

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