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 feed your pussycat.
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.

*Spoken
Tiffany's!
Cartier!*

For we are living in a material world,
And I am a material girl.

*Spoken
Come and get me boys!
Black-star, Ross call,
Talk to me, Harry Ziedler,
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 hot-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.

Diamonds are a girl's best,
Diamonds are a girl's best,
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Cause that's when those louses go back to their spouses!
Diamonds are a girl's best friend!
