I get up on my feet and run
It's the usual beginning
Of a workday never ending
I would like to get my washing done
But there's always something urgent
And I ain't got no detergent
At the end of the week I'll get my pay
But it takes a million to make my day

Honey's got a diamond
's got it in her eye
Honey's got a diamond
's got it in her eye
Honey's got a diamond
's got me running high

I get into my car and drive
Got a rusty little sedan
With a dent and broken heating
Watching others as they pass me by
They will move from rags to riches
With a company that matches
And I know I'll always be in the rear
They can buy me out but I have no fear

Honey's got a diamond
's got it in her eye
Honey's got a diamond
's got it in her eye
Honey's got a diamond
's got me running high

It's a way to get by
It keeps a man alive
It's a way to get high

I get into my bed and sleep
With the world upon my shoulders
And a TV dinner older
Well at least I won't be counting sheep
And as long as I can wake up
And look into her eyes
Yeah, i've got all I need

Honey's got a diamond
's got it in her eye
Honey's got a diamond
's got it in her eye
Honey's got a diamond
's got me running high

It's a way to get by
