Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

(Leo Robin/Jule Styne)
 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
 We all lose our charm in the end
 But square cut or pear shape
 These rocks don't lose their shape.
 Diamonds are a girl's best friend
 Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
 Let's rock.
 There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer
 Diamonds are a girl's best friend
 There may come a time when a hardboiled 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 spouses
 And diamonds are a girl's best friend.
 Diamonds are a girl's best friend
 Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend
 Let's rock again.
 Diamonds are a girl's best friend
 Diamonds are a girl's best friend
 Diamonds are a girl's best friend
 Diamonds are a girl's best friend...
