Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal

But I'm gonna be a diamond someday

I'm gon' grow and glow till I'm so blue, pure, perfect

And put a smile on everybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray every day

Lest I should become vain along the way

I'm just an old chunk of coal, oh, Lord

But I'm a-gonna be a diamond some day

I'm gonna learn the very best way to walk

I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk

And I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self

Till I get rid of every single flaw

I'm gonna be the world's best friend

I'm gonna go around shaking everybody's hand

Hey, I'm gonna be the cotton pickin' rage of the age

And I'm a-gonna be a diamond some day

Alright

Now I'm just an old chunk of coal

Ooh, and I'm gonna be a diamond some day

I'm gon' grow and glow till I'm so blue, pure, perfect

I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face

I'm a-gonna kneel and pray every day

Lest I should become vain along the way

Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal, oh, Lord

And I'm gonna be a diamond some day

Yeah, I'm gonna be the cotton picking' rage of the age

Yeah, I'm a-gonna be a diamond some day

Here we go
