Marilyn  Monroe -Diamonds  Are  A  Girl ‘s  Best  Friend

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  lose  their  shape
Diamonds  are  a  girl's  best  friend
Tiffany's...Cartier...
Black  frost...
Pearl 'bossed...
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  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
Cos  that's  when  those  louses
Go  back  to  their  spouses
Diamonds  are  a  girl's  best  friend
I've  heard  of  affairs  which  are  strictly  Platonic
But  diamonds  are  a  girl's  best  friend
And  I  think  affairs  that  you
Must  keep  Masonic
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
Diamonds...
Are  a  girl's  best...best  friend
