| Diamonds Are A Gil's Best Friend
The French are glad to die for love,
they delight in fighting duals.
But I prefer a man who lives and gives
expensive jewels.
A kiss on the hand may be
quite continental,
But diamond's 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 auto mat.
Men grow cold as girls grow old,
and we all lose our charm in the end.
But square-cut or pear-shaped,
these rocks don't lose their shape.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
Tiffany's!
Cartier!
Black Star, Frost Gorom!
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
hot-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
simply platonic,
but diamonds are a girl's best friend
and I think affairs that you must keep are
better bets, if little bets get big bagetts.
Time rolls on and 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 need rhinestones!
But diamonds are a girl's best...
Best friend!
