Watch My Ruby Shine

To All The Women Named Ruby -- Shine On!! People talk about their diamonds, their emeralds and their pearls. They each have their possessions that bring pleasure to their worlds. Of all the prizes in this world that I can now call mine – I’m proudest of my Ruby cause she can really shine. Whenever we go dancing – As she walks through that door she’s such a perfect vision no man could ask for more. Some things just turn out perfect – like grapes to vintage wine. But nothing beats my Ruby when she begins to shine. So, watch my Ruby shine! Catch her if you can. She’s dazzled and nearly blinded many a helpless man. And when I am beside her she makes me feel so fine. So, you just eat your heart out and watch my Ruby shine.
