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 feed your pussycat.



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

Come get me boys.



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...
