LOUDON WAINWRIGHT III lyrics : "Acres Of Diamonds"

You have a right to be rich - you've got no reason to

Be poor.


You simply must have overlooked what you've been


Looking for.

So step right up my friends cross your fingers close


Your eyes


And let me introduce you to the poor man's paradise.

Acres of diamonds are there for the taking


Shining in the silver lining of a dream that comes


True.

Over the rainbow three miles beyond Christmas


Acres of diamonds are waiting for you.


My friends I'm here to tell you love's the grandest

Thing on earth.


You shouldn't worship money except for all it's worth.


'Cause if you take a man in love - give him some

Spending green -


It won't be long 'fore he finds out what do wah ditty


Means.

Acres of diamonds are there for the taking


Shining in the silver lining of a dream that comes


True.

Over the rainbow three miles beyond Christmas


Acres of diamonds are waiting for you.Over on the corner in the middle of the block


There's a stairway going nowhere built above a vacant

Lot


Where money grows on trees watered by a wishing well -


This must be heaven - or the Fontainebleau Hotel.

Acres of diamonds are there for the taking


Shining in the silver lining of a dream that comes


True.

Over the rainbow three miles beyond Christmas


Acres of diamonds are waiting for you.


Friends if you've got the proper amount of

Determination


You can overcome almost any kind of a physical


Handicap.

Why I once knew a man that didn't have a tooth in his


Head

And yet that man learned to play a bass drum better


Than anybody I ever listened to.

Acres of diamonds are there for the taking

Shining in the silver lining of a dream that comes


True.

Over the rainbow three miles beyond Christmas


Acres of diamonds are waiting for you.
