THIS DIAMOND RING
Bob Brass/Al Kooper/Irwin Levine

Who wants to buy this diamond ring?
She took it off her finger; now, it doesn't mean a thing.
This diamond ring doesn't shine for me anymore,
And this diamond ring doesn't mean what it did before,
So if you've got someone whose love is true,
Let it shine for you.

This stone is genuine, like love should be,
And if your baby's truer than my baby was to me,
This diamond ring can mean something beautiful,
And this diamond ring can be dreams that are coming true,
And then your heart won't have to break like mine did,
If there's love behind it.

[Famously recorded by Gary Lewis and the Playboys in 1964. Also recorded by Sammy O. Ambrose, The Chipmunks, The Coasters, Al Kooper, and a few others.]
