Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

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 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 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
It's then, that those louses
Go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

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'ny's
Diamonds
Diamonds
I don't mean rhinestones
But diamonds
Are a girl's best friend
