She Is a Diamond

[Peron:]

But on the other hand--she's all they have

She's a diamond in their dull gray lives--and that's the

Hardest kind of stone--it usually survives

And when you think about it, can you recall

The last time they loved anyone at all?

She's not a bauble you can brush aside

She's been out doing what we just talked about--example

Gave us back our businesses, got the English out

And when you think about it--well why not do

One or two of the things we promised to?

But on the other hand she's slowing down

She's lost a little of that magic drive--but I would

Not advise those critics present to derive

Any satisfaction from her fading star

She's the one who's kept us where we are

[Chorus boys:]

She's the one who's kept you where you are
