Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend sing and play along

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 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 squarecut or pearshape, these rocks don't lose their shape,

diamonds are a girl's best friend.

A wellconducted rendezvous makes a maiden's heart beat quicker.

But when the rendezvous is through,

these stones still keep their flicker.

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 hardboiled 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.

A friend.
