"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 maybe 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 there shape    diamonds are a girl's best friend      ... Tiffany's!   ... Cartiea!   Black star rus course   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   because thats when 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 the masonic are better bets   if little girls get big bagettes   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 girls best... best friend"
