Today I went downtown,
oh just to look around
And I passed the window of Tiffany's
As I stopped to look inside,
I wished that I could find
My baby one of those diamond rings
and lots of other fancy things
Well, as I walked on down the bar
I passed a Ritzy shop
With all the ladies there is gal
Well, I'm a daydreamin' guy
Who can't afford what he wants to buy
So I bought us somethin'
from a little shop
That didn't cost an awful lot
Well, I want the be st for
my baby
Nothing's too good for my girl, no
But all that I can give her
Is a love that lasts forever
An d these blue ribbons for her curl
Hey now, can't buy her dia
monds or pearls
Hey, but I'm a daydreamin' guy
Can 't afford what he wants to buy
So I bought the somethin'
from a little shop
That didn't cost an awful lot of rest
I want the best for my baby,
yeah
Nothin's too good for my girl
Oh, but all that I can give her
is a love that lasts forever
An d these blue ribbons for her
Hey now,
can't buy her diamonds or pearls
Hey now, just these blue
ribbons for her
Let me tell you now,
can't buy her diamonds or pearls you
