Intro
Verse 1
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

Verse 2
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
I'm Gonna Be The Cotton-Pickin' Rage Of The Age
I'm Gonna Be A Diamond Some Day
Instrumental Break
Verse 3
Now 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
Oh, I'm Just An Old Chunk Of Coal Now Lord
I'm Gonna Be A Diamond Some Day
