(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 at the automat
|
|
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
|
Let's rock
|
|
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
|
