Lyrics

Black snake diamond role
Twist 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 her candlestick
Black snake diamond rock
Cut in half and watch it shine
Diddle me with confidence
I hear seen her squeeze her bulb
Singing like a windowpane
The mirror's glass a broken face?

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
Dancin' with a rubber snake
Goin' down to Milton Keynes
Lookin' for my destiny
Feelin' young and dignified
In a velvet glitter me

Yes.

Black snake diamond rock
Hungry fingers in a smock
Sucking on a croaker's top
Tulips blossom in a shop

Tulips from Amsterdam
Two lips from Amsterdam
Join together at the sides
Black snake diamond role
I'm gonna win my bride
Gonna be a burning ivy
Well, I hope it be alright
In our special spanner
You me, exquisite her
Tulips from Amsterdam
Tulips from Amsterdam
Two lips

Black snake diamond role
Yeah
