Diamond davey jumped into the california aqueduct Into the river that man made Diamond davey had no plan so he floated downstream On the waters of industry
But god had a plan so he saved your diamond dave He threw him a line And he brought him back home A chain link fence was sent by one who cares And keeps his eyes on things He landed right smack on a 20,000 acre lettuce patch
He had to walk back all soaking wet
He wasn't the first and he won't be the last There's no time for letters in a concrete riverbed And a van came by when he was walking back But they never did stop They had some other business Oh diamond davey sang in the choir on a summer's day And I was there to hear him say
Diamond davey jumped into the california aqueduct Into the river that man made Into the river that man made
