Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

hyq1307

The French are glad 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

Tiffany's Cartier

Black frost

Pearl 'bossed

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 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

Cos that's when those louses

Go back to their spouses

I've heard of affairs which are strictly Platonic

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

And I think affairs that you

Must keep Masonic

Are better bets

If little pets get big baguettes

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

Diamonds

Are a girl's best best friend
