Lyrics

[Intro]

The French are glad to die for love

[Verse 1]

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

A kiss may be grand but it won't pay the rental

On your humble flat

Or help you feed your, - , pussy cat

[Verse 2]

Men grow cold as girls grow old

And we all lose our charms in the end

But square-cut or pear-shaped

These rocks don't lose their shape

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

[Verse 3]

Tiffany

Cartier

[Verse 4]

'Cause we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl

Come and get me boys

[Verse 5]

Whoo

Black, Starr, Ross Cole

Talk to me Harry Zidler, tell me all about it

[Verse 6]

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer

(But diamonds are a girl's best friend)

There may come a time when a hard boiled employer

Thinks you're (Awful nice)

But get that ice or else no dice

[Verse 7]

He's your guy when stocks are high

But beware when they start to descend

[Verse 8]

Diamonds are a girl's best

Diamonds are a girl's best

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

[Bridge]

Let's make love

Yes!

Oh, come on

Oh

Yes, tiger!

(Everything's going so well)

[Outro]

'Cause that's when those louses

Go back to their spouses

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
