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 feed your Hmm ... Pussy cat
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...Cartier...

Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Ah
Come and get me, boys
Black Star, Roscor
Talk to me, Harry Zilder, 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
Oooo...Diamonds are a girl's best
Diamonds are a girls best
Diamonds are a girls best friend

Let's make love
Yes!
Oh, come on
Yes!

Oh!

Tiger!
Roar! Roar!

Ole!

Everything's going so well!

Cause that's those louses go back to their spouses!
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
