Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend (Robin & Styne) |
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 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 loose their shape |
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend |
Tiffany’s! |
Cartier! |
Black Starr! |
Frost Gorham! |
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 baguettes |
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! |
But diamonds are a girl’s best friend |
