The french are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefere 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 feed your own pussycat
Man grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square cut or pearshaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Tiffany's!
Cartier!
'Cause we are living in a material world and I am a material girl
Come and get me boys!
Black star!
Roscor!
Talk to me Harry Zidler! 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 diamonds are a girl's best friend)
Get on ice,there is no dice
He's your boy when,stocks are high
But beware when they start to decend
Diamonds are a girl's best
Diamonds are a girl's best
Diamonds are a girl's best-
'Cause that's when those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Diamonds! Diamonds!
Square cut or pear-shaped
These rocks won't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best
(fits...)
