diamonds area girls best friend (live at Ronnie Scott是club, London2002)

The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives
Expensive jewels
A kiss on the hand may be quite Continental
But diamonds are a girls best friend
A kiss may be grand
But it wont pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you at the automat
Men grow cold
As girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks dont lose their shape
Diamonds are a girls best friend
Tiffanys. . . Cartier. . .
Black frost. . .
Pearl bossed. . .
Talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girls best friend
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
Thinks youre awful nice
But get that ice
Or else no dice
Hes your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
Cos thats when those louses
Go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girls best friend
Ive heard of affairs which are strictly Platonic
But diamonds are a girls best friend
