If you listen, you can hear it call Wail-a-ree (wail-a-ree)
There is a river called the river of no return Sometimes it's peaceful and sometimes wild and free! Love is a trav'ler on the river of no return Swept on for ever to be lost in the stormy sea (wail-a-ree) I can hear the river call (no return, no return) No return, no return (where the roarin' waters fall wail-a-ree) I can hear my lover call come to me (no return, no return) I lost my love on the river and for ever my heart will yearn Gone gone for ever down the river of no return Wail-a-ree [wail-a-ree] wail-a-re-e-ee She'll/He'll never return to me! (no return, no return, no return)
I'm through with love I'll never fall again Said adieu to love Don't ever call again For I must have you or no one And so I'm through with love
I've locked my heart I'll keep my feelings there I've stocked my heart with icy, frigid air And I mean to care for no one Because I'm through with love
Why did you lead me To think you could care? You didn't need me For you had your share of slaves around you To hound you and swear with deep emotion and devotion to you
Goodbye to spring and all it meant to me It can never bring the thing that used to be For I must have you or no one And so I'm through with love
He's not so good in a crowd but when you get him alone, you'd be surprised. He isn't much at a dance but then when he takes you home, you'd be surprised. He doesn't look like much of a lover, don't judge a book by its cover, 'cause he's got the face of an angel but there's a devil in his eye! He's such a delicate thing but when he's starting to squeeze, you'd be surprised. He doesn't look very strong but when you sit on his knee, you'd be surprised. At a party or at a ball, I've got to admit he's nothing at all, but in a Morris chair, you'd be surprised. He doesn't say very much but when he's starting to speak, you'd be surprised. He's not so good at the start but at the end of the week, you'd be surprised. On a streetcar or in a train, you'd think he was born without any brains. But in a taxi cab, and when he starts to grab, I say in a taxi cab, you'd be surprised. This one's a real danger!

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental But diamonds are a girl's best friend A kioss may be grand but it won't pay the rental On your humble flat or help you at the automat
Men grow cold as girls grow old We all lose our charm in the end But square cut or pear shape These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend Let's rock
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer Diamonds are a girl's best friend There may come a time when a hardboiled employer Thinks you're awful nice, but get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy when stocks are high But beware when they start to descend It's then that those spouses And diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds are a girl's best friend Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend Let's rock again
Diamonds are a girl's best friend Diamonds are a girl's best friend Diamonds are a girl's best friend Diamonds are a girl's best friend

I've looked around the country and I've seen it all and what I want I'm ready to name. It's big and strong and handsome and it's 6 feet tall. I'm gonna file my claim. I've struck a real bonanza and he's rough and rash, but what he's got I'm ready to tame. He's worth a fancy fortune but it's not in cash, I'm gonna file my claim! I got the fever,ooh, the fever, but not for gold in the ground. I want the title to something vital that I can throw my fences around. A girl should never hustle with a pick and pan to dig for gold, that isn't her game. I'll find the man who found it then I'll get that man, who's gonna help me file my claim? I'm gonna file my claim. Ooh, looking for nuggets? Ooh, mush! A, B, C, D, who's gonna file me under love? There ain't a man, not a single man! There ain't a man alive who wouldn't trade his gold for what it takes to stay in the game. So have you fun and spend before you get too old. Who's gonna help me file my claim? Who's gonna help me, help, help me, who's gonna help me file my claim..tonight.
I'll be in my room alone every post meridian and I'll read my diary and that book by Mister Gideon.
Bye, bye, baby remember you're my baby when they give you the eye, and just to show that I care I will write and declare that I'm on the loose but I'm still on the square.
I've been lonely but even though I'm lonely there'll be no other guy. Though I'll be gone for a while I know that I'll be smiling with my baby by and by with my baby by and by.
I'll be gloomy but send that rainbow to me then my shadows will fly. Though you'll be gone fo a while I know that I'll be smiling with my baby by and by.
If I know just what to say when some trouble heads his way and can make him feel that everything is good, then I act like a woman and he likes a woman to act like a woman should. If he's late and I'm alone and he doesn't telephone and the kiss that greets him says
Hello! (here we go!) No sorry,not tonight (that was quick!). Shhh! Yes? (Jim?Jack?Jeffrey?) No,it's just that I'm languid. (Well,how do you do?It's nice to know ya). Physically I'm in pretty good shape (brother,you could say that again!) It's my attitude that's passive, you know you're the only one I love (that's all, he's hooked). Bye now (bye now) Hello (where are we again?) No sorry,not tonight (she's languid). Shhh!Quiet! (Bill,Bobby,Bruce?) No,it's just that I'm supine (that's avoided-I know). Physically I'm in pretty good shape (see? she did say it again). But mentally I'm comatose (quick boy, the dictionary!) You know you're the only one I love! (new fish, same hook) Bye now (bye now). (She won't get up,she won't go out, baby! what's it all about? Why,why,why,why,why?!) Well,in simple english I'm lazy,I wanna be lazy, I long to be out in the sun, with no work to be done. under that awning they call the sky, stretching and yawning, and let the world go drifting by, I wouldn't peep through the deep tangled wildwood,counting sheep, 'till I sleep like a child would, with a great big valise full of books to read, where it's peaceful. While I'm killin' time, being lazy. Wrong number,wrong number.. Oh Sam,you're sweet! With a great big valise full of books to read,where it's peaceful. While I'm killin' time, being lazy!
