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 — |
