Diamonds Are a Girls Best Friend

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 Starr & Frost-Gorham

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

Its then 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

And I think affairs that you must keep Masonic

Are better bets if little pets get big baguettes

Time rolls on, and youth is gone

And you cant straighten up when you bend

But stiff back, or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffanys

Diamonds

Diamonds

I dont mean rhinestones

But diamonds

Are a girls best

Best friend
