Album: From Gentlemen Prefer Blondes

Diamond's Are A Girls Best Friend

The French are glad to die for love,
They delight in fighting duals.
But I prefer a man who lives and gives expensive jewels.

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental,
But diamond´s are a girls best friend.
a kiss may be grant,
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 charm in the end.
But square-cut or pearl-shaped,
These rocks don´t lose their shape.
Diamond´s are a girls best friend.

Tiffany´s!
Cartier!
Black Star,Frost Gorom!
Talk to me,Harry Winston,
Tell me all about it.

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer,
But diamond´s are a girls best friend.
There may come a time when a hot-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 sprouses.
Diamond´s are a girls best friend.

I´ve heard of affairs that are simply plutonic,
But diamond´s are a girls best friend.
And I think affairs that you must keep are better bets,
If little bets get big bagettes.

Diamond´s!
Diamond´s!
I don´t need no rhinestones!
But diamond´s are a girls best,
Best friend.
