Old Chunk of Coal

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 perfect
 I'm gonna put a smile on everybody's face
 I'm gonna kneel and pray every 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
 ♪
 I'm gonna learn the right words to talk
 I'm gonna search and find a better way to walk
 I'm gonna spit and polish my old rough-edged self
 'Til I get rid of every single flaw
 Well I'm gonna be the world's best friend
 I'm gonna go 'round shakin' everybody's hand, yeah
 I'm just an ol' chunk of coal, now Lord
 But I'm gonna be a diamond some day
 ♪
 Yeah I'm gonna be the cotton-pickin' rage of the age
 I'm gonna be a diamond some day
