Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend (from "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes")

The French were bred to die for love
 They delight in fighting 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 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
 These rocks don't lose their shape
 Diamonds are a girl's best friend
 Tiffany's, Cartier
 Talk to me, Harry, Winston, tell me all about it
 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 your awful nice
 But get that ice or else no dice
 He's your guy when stocks are high
 But beware when the start to descend
 It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
 Diamonds are a girl's best friend
 I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
 But diamonds are a girl's best friend
 And I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic
 Are better bets if little pets get big baggettes
 Time rolls on and youth is gone
 And you can't straighten up when you bend
 But stiff back or stiff knees
 You stand straight at Tiffany's
 Diamonds
 Diamonds
 I don't mean rhinestones
 But Diamonds
 Are A Girl's Best Friend
