(Leo RobinJule Styne)



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

We all lose our charm in the end

But square cut or pear shape

These rocks don't lose their shape



Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend

Let's rock



There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

There may come a time when a hardboiled 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 spouses

And diamonds are a girl's best friend



Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend

Let's rock again



Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
