Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The French are glad to die for love

They delight in fighting duels

But I prefer a man who lives

And gives expensive jewels

[Verse 2]

A kiss on the hand

May be quite continental

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

[Verse 3]

A kiss may be grand

But it won't pay the rental

On your humble flat

Or help you at the automat

[Verse 4]

Men grow cold

As girls grow old

And we all lose our charms in the end

[Verse 5]

But square-cut or pear-shaped

These rocks don't loose their shape

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

[Verse 6]

Tiffany's

Cartier

Black, Starr, Frost Gorham

Talk to me, Harry Winston

Tell me all about it!

[Verse 7]

There may come a time

When a lass needs a lawyer

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

[Verse 8]

There may come a time

When a hard-boiled employer

Thinks you're awful nice

But get that ice or else no dice

[Verse 9]

He's your guy

When stocks are high

But beware when they start to descend

[Verse 10]

It's then that those louses

Go back to their spouses

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

[Verse 11]

I've heard of affairs

That are strictly platonic

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

[Verse 12]

And I think affairs

That you must keep liaisonic

Are better bets

If little pets get big baguettes

[Verse 13]

Time rolls on

And youth is gone

And you can't straighten up when you bend

[Verse 14]

But stiff back

Or stiff knees

You stand straight at Tiffany's

[Verse 15]

Diamonds! Diamonds!

I don't mean rhinestones!

But diamonds are a girl's best friend
