Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friends
(Marilyn
Monroe)
The French were bred 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 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
...Tiffany's ...
Cartier...
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,
It's then that 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 liaisonic
are better bets
if little pets get big baggettes.
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 Girl's Best Friends
