Playing Diamonds Cashing Checks Lyrics by Chaparelle
I’m playin’ diamonds, cashin’ checks
Puttin’ fancy things around my neck
Not givin’ one hell or heck
I’m playin’ diamonds, cashin’ checks
Another dollar, another day
Señoritas in St. Tropez
Pourin’ chili on my Frito-Lays
No, ma’am, I ain’t on no holiday
I’m playin’ diamonds, cashin’ checks
Puttin’ fancy things around my neck
Not givin’ one hell or heck
I’m playin’ diamonds, cashin’ checks
It’s just the four to the one to the five
Again and again till you get it just right
It might take all day and all through the night
But even then, babe, you ain’t qualified
I’m playin’ diamonds, cashin’ checks
Nah, I ain’t hired for my intellect
I’m just out here payin’ my respects
To the T-bones and the TeeBirds and even T. Rex
I’m playin’ diamonds, cashin’ checks
Four to the one to the five
Again, again till we get it right
It’s just the four to the one to the five
Again, again till we get it right
It’s just the four to the one to the five
Again, again till we get it right
It’s just the four to the one to the five
Again, again till we get it right
I’ve been dreamin’ of a honkytonk
But I’ve Shanghai’d and Shang Hong’d
You can do me right or do me wrong
Break my heart or love me long time
I’m playin’ diamonds, cashin’ checks
Doin’ weird stuff with women with all due respect
In the good times and the bad times and all the rest
I’m playin’ diamonds, cashin’ checks
I’m playin’ diamonds, cashin’ checks
I’m playin’ diamonds, cashin’ checks
