Diamonds are a girl's best friend


The French are glad to die for love

They delight in fighting duels

But I prefer a man who lives

And gives expensive jewelry

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

Those rocks don't lose their shape.

Diamonds are a girl?s best friend.

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 to descend.

It's then that those louses

Go back to their spouses.

Diamonds are a girl?s best friend.

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
