Old Chunk of Coal
I m just an old chunk of coal
But I m gonna be a diamond someday
I m gonna grow and glow til I m so blue pure perfect
I m gonna put a smile on everybody s face
I m gonna kneel and pray every day
Lest I should become vain along the way
I m just and old chunk of coal now Lord
But I m gonna be a diamond someday
I m gonna learn the best way to walk
I m gonna search an find a better way to talk
I m gonna spit and polish my old rough edged self
till I get rid of every single flaw
I m gonna be the world s best friend
Gonna go around shakin everybody s hand
I m gonna be the cotton pickin rage of the age
Lord, I m gonna be a diamond someday
(break and repeat first verse)
