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-shaped
These rocks don't loose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
 
Tiffany's
Cartier
Black Starr
Frost Gorham
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 (you bet)
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
 
INTERLUDE
 
I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
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 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 mean rhinestones
But diamonds are a girl's best
Best friend
