[ar:Paul Simon]
[al:]
[00:00.00] (a-wa) O kodwa u zo-nge li-sa namhlange
[00:08.45] (a-wa a-wa) Si-bona kwenze ka kanjani
[00:11.93] (a-wa a-wa) Amanto mbazane ayeza
[00:14.00] She's a rich girl
[00:16.00] She don't try to hide it
[00:17.99] Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
[00:20.99] He's a poor boy
[00:22.99] Empty as a pocket
[00:24.65] Empty as a pocket with nothing to lose
[00:28.20] Sing Ta na na
[00:29.42] Ta na na na
[00:31.50] She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
[00:35.39] Ta na na na
[00:36.93] Ta na na na
[00:35.10] She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
[00:41.90] Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
[00:45.24] Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
[00:48.61] Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
[00:51.95] Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
[01:18.76] People say she's crazy
[01:20.32] She got diamonds on the soles of her shoes
[01:24.67] Well that's one way to lose these
[01:26.96] Walking blues
[01:29.03] Diamonds on the soles of her shoes
[01:35.40] She was physically forgotten
[01:37.17] Then she slipped into my pocket
[01:39.15] With my car keys
[01:41.62] She said you've taken me for granted
[01:43.59] Because I please you
[01:45.82] Wearing these diamonds
[01:52.29] And I could say Oo oo oo
[01:59.29] As if everybody knows
[02:00.96] What I'm talking about
[02:03.50] As if everybody would know
[02:05.20] Exactly what I was talking about
[02:07.99] Talking about diamonds on the soles of her shoes
[02:49.99] She makes the sign of a teaspoon
[02:51.99] He makes the sign of a wave
[02:56.00] The poor boy changes clothes
[02:57.88] And puts on after-shave
[03:00.46] To compensate for his ordinary shoes
[03:06.54] And she said honey take me dancing
[03:09.02] But they ended up by sleeping
[03:10.95] In a doorway
[03:12.97] By the bodegas and the lights on
[03:14.99] Upper Broadway
[03:17.43] Wearing diamonds on the soles of their shoes
[03:23.71] And I could say Oo oo oo
[03:30.74] As if everybody here would know
[03:32.91] What I was talking about
[03:34.92] I mean everybody here would know exactly
[03:37.11] What I was talking about
[03:39.02] Talking about diamonds
[04:16.87] People say I'm crazy
[04:18.28] I got diamonds on the soles of my shoes
[04:22.80] Well that's one way to lose
[04:24.57] These walking blues
[04:27.55] Diamonds on the soles of your shoes
[04:33.99] Ta na na na
