Jimmy Buffett - Diamond As Big As The Ritz Lyrics

Send "Diamond As Big As The Ritz" ringtone to your cell

Hidden in the mountains under the earth and stone

A cubic mile of perfection treasure no one has known

One man came upon this mother lode

Built himself a thousand room chateau

He's the emperor of diamonds master of the prize

He's got the hold on happiness and all that money can buy

Everyday he lives in fascination

This is not an everyday temptation no

It's the diamond as big as the ritz

What you gonna do with this?

Tell me who's goin' to save you

When you're a slave to the

Diamond as big as the ritz

A blessing can become a curse if you keep it to yourself

Our own exaggeration is not so good for your health

It's the prophecy of the unattainable dream

If you take one look behind the shine

It doesn't always gleam

Everyday he lives in fascination

This is not an everyday temptation no

It's the diamond as big as the ritz

What you gonna do with this?

Tell me who's goin' to save you

When you're a slave to a

Diamond as big as the ritz

(Diamond diamond diamond diamond diamond)

Coal under pressure

(Diamond)

Sparkle of treasure

(Diamond)

Crystalline measure

(Diamond)

On a mental pleasure

(Diamond)

In the corner of your eye

(Diamond)

Make a grown man cry

(Diamond)

All the seeds you've sown

(Diamond)

Greed can crumble your castle walls greed can purchase you thrills

Power is a dangerous drug it can maim it can kill

It's the prophecy of the unattainable dream

If you take one look behind the shine it doesn't always gleam

It was a diamond as big as the ritz

What you gonna do with this?

Tell me who's goin' to save you

When you're a slave to a

Diamond as big as the ritz

It was a diamond as big as the ritz

What you gonna do with this?

Tell me who's goin' to save you

When you're a slave to a

Diamond as big as the ritz
