Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend (From "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes") |
The French were bred 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 |
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend |
…Tiffany's … Cartier… |
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 |
It’s then that those louses go back to their spouses |
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend |
I’ve heard of affairs that are strictly platonic |
But diamonds are a girl’s best friend |
And I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic |
Are better bets if little pets get big baggettes |
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 — |
