Acres Of Diamonds Lyrics

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.Loudon Wainwright Iii - Acres Of Diamonds - http://motolyrics.com/loudon-wainwright-iii/acres-of-diamonds-lyrics.html

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.
