I get up on my feet and run 

It's the usual beginning 

Of a workday neverending 

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 runnin, 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 runnin, 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 runnin, high 



It's a way to get by
