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, Blackstar, Frost, Ghoram |
|
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 your 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 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 |
|
But Diamonds |
|
Are A Girl's Best |
|
Best friend |
