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
 
 Those rocks dont lose their shape.
 
 
 Diamonds are a girls best friend.
 
 
 There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
 
 But diamonds are a girls best friend.
 
 There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
 
 Thinks youre awful nice
 
 But get that ice or else no dice.
 
 Hes 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.
