Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend - Marylin Monroe

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 square cut or pear shape these

Rocks don't lose their shape

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Tiffany's

Cartier

Black star Frost Gorham

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 plutonic

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 baguettes

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 girls best

Best friend
