Diamond Jim - Chuck Prophet

The neophyte lays down the law

And the choir boy plays five card draw

All the news that’s fit to print

Rolls right off, don’t make a dent

Diamond Jim, where you hiding

Diamond Jim, where you hiding

When Diamond Jim gets back

Diamond Jim will know just what to do

The mannequin takes off her clothes

The clowns are laughing at your nose

The weatherman he is the news

And Dick Clark’s got the tombstone Blues

Diamond Jim, where youu hiding

Diamond Jim, where you hiding

When diamond Jim gets back

Diamond Jim will know just what to do

Where you been so doggone long?

Diamond Jim, don’t shine me on

Your homeboy’s under house arrest

It all feels too real to be a test

The open mikes are out of poems

And the pleasure’s leaking from the domes

Diamond Jim, where you hiding

Diamond Jim, where you hiding

When Diamond Jim gets back

Diamond Jim will know just what to do

Diamond Jim, where you hiding

Diamond Jim, where you hiding

When Diamond Jim gets back

Diamond Jim will know just what to do

When Diamond Jim gets back

Diamond Jim will know just what to do
