"Traffic's wild tonight"

Diamond smiles her cocktail smile.

Tonight she's in heavy disquise.

She looks at her wrist to clock the passing time.



"Weather's mild tonight"

She wonders do they notice her eyes,

She wonders will her glamour survive,

And can they see she's going down a third time.



Everybody tries,

It's Dale Carnegie gone wild,

But Barbara Cartland's child

long ago perfected the motionless glide.



In the low voltage noise,

Diamond seems so sure and so poised

She shimmers for the bright young boys,

And laugh's "Love is for others, but me it destroys"



The girl in the cake

Jumped out too soon by mistake,

Somebody said the whole things half baked

And Diamond lifts her glass and says "cheers"



She stands to the side

There's no more to this than meets the eye,

Everybody drinks Martini dry,

And talks about clothes and the latest styles.



Chorus:



They said she did it

With grace.

They said she did it

With style.

They said she did it all

Before she died

Oh No

I remember Diamond's smile



Nobody saw her go,

They said they should have noticed 

'cos her dress was cut so low.

Well it only goes to show

Ha, ha, how many real men any of us know.



She went up the stairs,

Stood up on the vanity chair,

Tied her lame belt around the chandelier,

And went out kicking at the perfumed air.



Repeat Chorus
