 "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
