Diamonds Are Girls Best Friends 

The French were bred to die for love 
They delight in fighting duels 
But I prefer a man who lives 
And gives expensive jewels 
kiss on the hand may be quite continental 
But diamonds are a girl's best friend 
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... 
Talk to me, Harry, Winston,tell me all about it! 
There [bad word] a time when a lass needs a lawyer 
But diamonds are a girl's best friend
There [bad word] 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 
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 baggettes 
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 Girl's Best Friends
