(ads from the 70's and 80's)
If a diamond is forever,
then love is the San Francisco treat.
Just a little dab’ll do ya
so be all that you can be.
It’s the cheesiest, so just do it
you can have it your way.
So reach out and touch someone
it’s the best part of waking up.
And like a good neighbor, there’s
love and no more tears.
Once you pop, you can’t stop for
nobody does it like Sara Lee.
She lets her fingers do the walking
promise her anything, but give her love.
She’s come a long way baby
and brings good things to life.
But when it rains, I see it pours
and I deserve a break today.
For a mind is a terrible thing to waste
does she…or doesn’t she?
Her love is good to the last drop
so don’t treat your puppy like a dog!
Celebrate the moments of your life,
And don’t leave home without them.
I fly her friendly skies, they’re great
and I can have it my own way.
Keeps going, and going, and going
She is the pause that refreshes.
Takes a licking and keeps on ticking
nothing comes between me and my girl.
She tastes great though her love is less filling
I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!

A diamond in the dark
Desolation has found its spark
Superficial beauty it does stark
Choking tightly around the guillotine's neck
Lost in space, a drifting, worthless rock
Imitation jewellery for luminescence it does lack
Devoid of shine, a dead meteor ice block
The solar wind has missed thy flag
Absolute zero floating thy log
Lost in space, way off track
Deprived of an eye's look
Out of luck, sight of black
Imitating something interstellar
An empty core it does possess without thy pillar
Light, steady, ready to pull the trigger
To reveal an outstanding figure
A diamond is forever in the glow of a star
Lost in space, thy light is my spar
“I do” is for ever, not just for a day,
Or a week, or a month, or whenever.
Stick close to your love, and don’t let them go
Don’t let them go, not ever.
“I do” are two words that are tossed all about,
And are tossed to and fro without care.
But if you hold to your spouse, when hard times come,
Then you each other’s burdens will share.
I have heard it said that a diamond is forever,
But I’m not so sure I agree.
The love that “I do” has contained inside,
Can outlast any diamond ring.
When you say “I do” and you make a commitment,
Just do it with all of your heart.
Don’t make your other half do all the work.
Get up and do your part.
