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 girl's best friend
A kiss may be grand, but it won't 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 shape

These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend


Tiffany's!
Cartier!
Black star

Frost Forham
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 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
He's your guy when stocks are high, but beware when they start to descend

It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend


I've heard of affairs that are strictly plutonic
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
And I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic are better bets

If little pets get big baguettes
Time rolls on as youth is gone and you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees you stand straight at

Tiffany's

Diamonds

Diamonds
I don't mean rhinestones
But diamonds...

Are a girls best, best friend
