T-Bone Burnett - Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend lyrics

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 grown 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.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Let's rock

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer

diamonds are a girl's best friend.

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.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Let rock again

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
