Lyrics

[00:03.65] The French are glad to die for love
[00:08.24] They delight in fighting duels
[00:13.98] But I prefer a man who lives
[00:17.47] And gives
[00:19.86] Expensive jewels
[00:24.80] A kiss on the hand may be quite Continental
[00:29.68] But diamonds are a girl's best friend
[00:35.01] A kiss may be grand
[00:38.14] But it won't pay the rental
[00:39.92] On your humble flat
[00:42.37] Or help you at the automat
[00:45.65] Men grow cold
[00:47.74] As girls grow old
[00:50.32] And we all lose our charms in the end
[00:55.56] But square-cut or pear-shaped
[00:58.42] These rocks don't lose their shape
[01:01.16] Diamonds are a girl's best friend
[01:07.68] Tiffany's. . . Cartier. . .
[01:16.50] Black frost. . .
[01:18.32] Pearl 'bossed. . .
[01:19.11] Talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it!
[01:26.72] There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
[01:31.88] But diamonds are a girl's best friend
[01:36.92] There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer
[01:42.03] Thinks you're awful nice
[01:44.75] But get that ice
[01:46.21] Or else no dice
[01:48.40] He's your guy when stocks are high
[01:52.36] But beware when they start to descend
[01:58.21] Cos that's when those louses
[02:00.33] Go back to their spouses
[02:03.40] Diamonds are a girl's best friend
[02:16.11] I've heard of affairs which are strictly Platonic
[02:21.09] But diamonds are a girl's best friend
[02:26.05] And I think affairs that you
[02:29.32] Must keep Masonic
[02:31.47] Are better bets
[02:33.87] If little pets get big baguettes
[02:37.53] Time rolls on, and youth is gone
[02:41.66] And you can't straighten up when you bend
[02:46.75] But stiff back, or stiff knees
[02:49.36] You stand straight at Tiffany's
[02:57.85] Diamonds, diamonds. . .
[03:09.11] I don't mean rhinestones
[03:13.73] Diamonds. . .
[03:17.31] Are a girl's best. . . best friend
