[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
