Text
Well you've got your diamonds and you've got your pretty clothes; And the chauffeur drives your cars, You let everybody know.	a
But[/So] don't play with me 'cause you're playin' with fire.	b
You're mother, she's an heiress, owns a block in St. John's Wood, And your father'd be there with her, if he only could.	c
Your old man took her diamonds and tiaras by the score, Now she gets her kicks in Stepney, not in Knightsbridge anymore.	d
Now you've got some diamonds and you will add some others, But you'd better watch your step girl, or start livin' with your mother.	e
