  1. Woke up this morning on the beach,
    Started walking, it's my regular routine.
    I was on the search for some diamonds,
    Let me tell you just what I've seen.

    I saw...

    a castle with a view,
    fields of bamboo,
    guy from Kung Fu,
    a giant screw,
    a kangaroo,
    some chicken stew,
    and the woman who lived in a shoe.

    I saw...

    a white whale,
    the holy grail,
    Pirate ships without a sail,
    air mail,
    volcano fail,
    pyramids not to scale,
    and some things I should not go into detail.

    You never know what you will find
    shaping a world that's in your mind.
    See for yourself and walk with me

    A world of wonder, a land of beauty.
    Across the mountains and over the sea
    but I still haven't found any diamonds.

    I've been walking around for miles,
    still no diamonds to be found.
    Maybe I should look underground.

    I started digging a hole,
    drilling through dirt, then I fell through,
    landed in some water.
    What have I gotten myself into?

    I saw...

    Lava lake near the core,
    Kratos from God of War
    mushroom spore,
    liquor store,
    statue of dumbledore.

    Wooden shed with a bed,
    spiders and the undead,
    arrowhead,
    loaf of bread,
    giant spool of golden thread.

    I saw a sparkle in the dark.
    I put my axe right through that mark.
    At last found me some diamonds.
    Oh I'm so happy I could ride a pig!
