[Verse]
E
Traffic's wild tonight
A
Diamond smiles her cocktail smile
B
Tonight she’s in heavy disguise
E
She looks at her wrist to clock the passing time
[Verse]
E
Weather's mild tonight
A
She wonders will they notice her eyes
B
She wonders will her glamour survive
EBA
And can they see she’s going down a third time
[Verse]
E
Oh everybody tries
A
It’s Dale Carnegie gone wild
B
But Barbara Cartland’s child
E
Long ago perfected the motionless glide
[Verse]
E
And in the low voltage noise
A
Diamond seems so sure and so poised
B
She shimmers for the bright young boys
E
And says ‘love is for others but me it destroys’
[Verse]
E
The girl in the cake
A
Jumped out too soon by mistake
B
Somebody said the whole things half baked
E
And Diamond lifts her glass and says ‘Cheers’
E
She stands to one side,
A
There’s no more to this than meets the eye
B
Everybody drinks Martini dry
E
And talks about clothes and the latest styles
[Chorus]
EA
Oh, oh they said she did it with grace
B
They said she did it with style
A
They said she did it all
B
They said before she died
A
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
BE
I remember Diamond’s smile
(Drum Fill)

[Verse]
E
Nobody saw her go
A
They said they should have noticed ‘cause her dress was cut so low
B
Well it only goes to show
E
Ha, ha how many real men any of us know
[Verse]
E
She went up the stairs
A
Stood upon the vanity chair
B
Tied her lamé belt around the chandelier
E
And went out, kicking at the perfumed air
[Chorus]
EA
Oh, oh oh they said she did it with grace
B
They said she did it with style
A
They said she did it all
B
They said before she died
A
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
BE
I remember Diamond’s smile
[Outro]
E
Na, na, na, na, na, na
A
Na, na, na, na, na, na
B
Na, na, na, na, na, na
E
Na, na, na, na, na, na
