Honey, I want a diamond, she said
So I sat & I thought & I scratched my poor head
Well, if that's what she wanted then that's what she'd get
So I rushed off to buy one tho' it put me in debt
A diamond I want, she said with a sigh
So I went off to buy one with my eyes opened wide
I bought her a diamond with silver & gold
I bought her a diamond that shone bright & bold
No, that's not what I wanted, you don't understand
I heard & I cried with my head in my hand
I bought her the best that I could afford
But the truth was I had not heard
Sadly mistaken was I in this case
That's why your Grandma is playing 3rd base
