Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend Marilyn Monroe

[Intro]
The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels
But I prefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels

[Verse 1]
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

[Bridge]
Tiffany's
Cartier
Black, Starr, Frost, Gorham
Talk to me Harry Winston, tell me all about it!

[Verse 2]
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
