Black snake diamond role
Twists away across the floor
Trails away like mercury
Have you ever seen her?
Been right in between her
She's a goddess
You'll pay double
Just to be a candlestick
Black snake diamond rock
Cut it hard and watch it shine
Doing it with confidence
Have you seen her squeeze a bulb?
Singing like a window pane
[Incomprehensible] she broke her voice, yes
She's not young and she's not old
She's a woman every time
Got a penthouse full of dwarfs
Lord, I wish that she was mine
Well, maybe she is
Rock around the fire escape
Boogie with a question mark
Dancing with a rubber snake
Going down the Milton Keynes
Looking for my destiny, ha
Feeling young and dignified
In a velvet guillotine, yes
Black snake diamond rock
Hungry fingers in a smock
Sucking on a cloaker's top
Tulips blossom in a shop
Tulips from Amsterdam
Tulips from Amsterdam
Joined together at the sides
Black snake diamond role
Gonna make it with my bride
Gonna be a burly night
Well, I hope and feel alright
Putting on a special smell
Leaves me in exquisite hell
Tulips from Amsterdam
Tulips from Amsterdam, tulips
Black snake diamond role, yeah
