Old Chunk of Coal

Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal

But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect

I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry day

Lest I should become vain along the way

I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord

But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

I'm gonna learn the best way to walk

I'm gonna search and find a better way to talk

I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self

'Til I get rid of ev'ry single flaw

I'm gonna be the world's best friend

I'm gonna go 'round shakin' ev'rybody's hand

Hey, I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' rage of the age

I'm gonna be a diamond some day

Now I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord

But I'm gonna be a diamond some day

I'm gonna grow and glow 'til I'm so blue pure perfect

I'm gonna put a smile on ev'rybody's face

I'm gonna kneel and pray ev'ry day

Lest I should become vain along the way

Hey, I'm just an old chunk of coal now Lord

But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
