The French are glad to die for love...
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 flats,or help you feed your Pussycat
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
...Tiffanys ..Cartiers..
Cause we are li-ving in a material world
And I am a material girl
Ah Come and get me, boys!
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
Cause that's when those louses go back to their spouses.
Diamonds are a girl's best
Diamonds are a girl's best
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
