Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend Lyrics

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 charm in the end.
But square cut or pear shape,
These rocks don't lose their shape,
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

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 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 louses
Go back to their spouses!
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Romance is divine
And I'm not one to knock it,
Oh but diamonds are a girl's best friend.
Romance is divine,
Yeah, but where can you hock it?
When the flame is gone,
You just try and p*** a tired Don Juan!

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