Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you think you're pretty hot stuff
You been takin never waitin' and it's never enough
I know you think you deserve a cut
But you can't have my little diamond in the rough
No you can't have my little diamond in the rough
I'm gonna sing you a madrigal
It's number 500 in the black and blue hymnal
Number 500 in the black and blue hymnal to you
No you can't have my little diamond in the rough
You can't have my little diamond in the rough
I know you think you're pretty hot stuff
You been takin never waitin' and it's never enough
I know you think you deserve a cut
But you can't have my little diamond in the rough
No no no no no you can't have my little diamond in the rough
I will fight you to the end
I'll fight you to the death
Then I'll fight you once again
Bring anyone you can
I'll fight you to the end
So go tell all your friends
Bring anything you can
Your tricks and magic spells
Your whistles and your bells
I'll still fight you to the end
And there is not one doubt
You'll get knocked down and dragged out
Cause you can't have my little diamond in the rough
