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 girls best friend

A kiss may be grand but it wont 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 dont lose their shape

Diamonds are a girls best friend

TIFFANYS! CARTIER! Black Star, Rossgorm,

Talk to me Harry Winston - tell me all about it!



There may come a time when a lass need her lawyer

But diamonds are a girls 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

Its then that those louses go back to their spouses

Diamonds are a girls best friend



I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic

But diamonds are a girls best friend

And I think affairs that you must keep blousonic are better bets

if little fets get big baguettes

Time rolls on and youth is gone and you cant straighten up when you bend

But stiff back or stiff knees you stand straight at Tiffanys

Diamonds...diamonds... I dont need rhinestones

But diamonds are a girls best...best friend
