1
The French are glad to die for love,
2
they delight in fighting duels.
3
But I prefer a man who lives and gives expensive jewels.
4
A kiss on the hand may be quite Continental,
5
but diamonds are a girls best friend.
6
A kiss may be grand but it wonâ"š¬â"ž¢t pay the rental on your humble flat, or help you at the automat.
7
Men grow cold as girls grow old and we all lose our charms in the end.
8
But square-cut or pear-shaped these rocks donâ"š¬â"ž¢t lose their shape.
9
Diamonds are a girls best friend!
10
Tiffanyâ"š¬â"ž¢s!
11
Cartier!
12
Black Star, Ross Gorham,
13
talk to me, Harry Winston, tell me all about it!
14
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer, but diamonds are a girls best friend.
15
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer thinks your awful nice,
16
but get that ice, or else no dice!
17
Heâ"š¬â"ž¢s your guy when stocks are high, but beware when they start to descend.
18
Itâ"š¬â"ž¢s then that those louses go back to their spouses,
19
diamonds are a girls best friend!
20
Iâ"š¬â"ž¢ve heard of affairs that are strictly platonic, but diamonds are a girlâ"š¬â"ž¢s best friend.
21
And I think affairs that you must keep Masonic are better bets if little pets get big baguettes.
22
Time rolls on, and youth is gone, and you canâ"š¬â"ž¢ straighten up when you bend.
23
But stiff-back or stiff-knees you stand straight at Tiffanyâ"š¬â"ž¢s!
24
Diamonds! Diamonds! I donâ"š¬â"ž¢t mean rhinestones!
25
But diamonds,
26
are a girls best friend.
