The F rench were bred to die for love
They delight in fighti ng duals
But I prefer a man who li ves
And gives e xpensive j ewels
A k iss on the hand may be quite con tinental
But diamonds are a g irl's best fr iend
A k iss m ay be grand, but i t won't pay the rental
On your h umble flat, or help you at th e automat
Men grow cold a s gir ls g row old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But s quare-cut or pear- shaped
These rocks do n't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl 's be st friend
Tiffany's !
Cartier !
Black star, frost gorom !
Talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it !
There ma y co me a time when a lass needs a lawyer
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
There may c ome a time when a hard-boiled e mployer
thinks you're awful nice
But get that ice or else no dice
He's your guy whe n stoc ks a re high
But b eware when they start to d escen d
It's t hen that those louses go bac k to thei r spouses
Diamonds are a girl' s bes t friend
I've h eard of affairs that are strictly plutonic
But diamonds are a g irl's best fr iend
Ad I th ink af fairs that you must keep lia isonic
Are be tter bets, if l ittle bets get big bag gifts
Time rol ls on, And you th is gone
And you can't straig hten up when yo u ben d,
But s tiff back or stiff knees
you stand st raight at Ti ffany's !
Diamonds !
Diamonds !
I do n't mean r hinesto nes
But Di amonds are a girl's best ...
Best f riends !
