Lyrics

[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

Black Star, Ross Cole

TALK TO ME HARRY ZILDER

TELL ME ALL ABOUT IT!

[Verse 5]

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 6]

He's your guy when stocks are high

But beware when they start to descend

Ooh, diamonds are a girl's best

Diamonds are a girl's best

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

[Verse 7]

'Cause that's when those louses

Go back to their spouses

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
