The French are glad to die for love

Always fighting in 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 feed your pussycat



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……. Cartier



‘Cause we are living in a material world

And I am a material girl



Come and get me boys



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 descend



Diamonds are a girl’s best

Diamonds are a girl’s best

Diamonds are a girl’s best



Let’s make love

Everything’s going so well



‘Cause that’s when those lasses go back to their spouses

Diamonds, are a girl’s best friend
