I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal (But I'm Gonna Be a Diamond Someday)

歌詞

Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal But I'm gonna be a diamond some day I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry day Lest I should become vain along the way I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord But I'm gonna be a diamond some day I'm gonna learn the best way to walk I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self 'Til I get rid of ev'ry single flaw I'm gonna be the world's best friend I'm gonna go 'round shakin' ev'rybody's hand Hey, I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' rage of the age I'm gonna be a diamond some day Now I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord But I'm gonna be a diamond some day I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry day Lest I should become vain along the way Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
