Intro 2 bars of E
MI
Traffics wild tonight
LA
Diamond smiles her cocktail smile
SI
Tonight she’s in heavy disguise
MI
She looks at her wrist to clock the passing time
MI
Weathers mild tonight
LA
She wonders will they notice her eyes
SI
She wonders will her glamour survive
MI
And can they see she’s going down a third time
MI
Oh everybody tries
LA
It’s Dale Carnegie gone wild
SI
But Barbara Cartland’s child
MI
Long ago perfected the motionless glide
MI
And in the low voltage noise
LA
Diamond seems so sure and so poised
SI
She shimmers for the bright young boys
MI
And says ‘love is for others but for me it destroys’
The girl in the cake
Jumped out too soon by mistake
Somebody said the whole things half baked
And Diamond lifts her glass and says ‘Cheers’
She stands to one side
There’s no more to this than meets the eye
Everybody drinks Martini dry
And talks about clothes and the latest styles
Chorus
MI LA
Oh, oh they said she did it with grace
SI
They said she did it with style
LA
They said she did it all
SI
They said before she died
LA
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
SI MI
I remember Diamond’s smile
Nobody saw her go
They said they should have noticed ‘cause her dress was cut so low
Well it only goes to show
Ha, ha how many real men any of us know
She went up the stairs
Stood upon the vanity chair
Tied her lame belt around the chandelier
And went out kicking at the perfumed air
Chorus
MI LA
Oh, oh they said she did it with grace
SI
They said she did it with style
LA
They said she did it all
SI
They said before she died
LA
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
SI MI
I remember Diamond’s smile
Na, na, na, na, na, na
(This is repeated over and over again to a recurring 2 bar pattern of E, A, B and E)
