The French are glad to die for love
They delight on fighting duels
But Iprefer a man who lives
And gives expensive jewels

A kiss on the hand
Maybe 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 um 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

(Come and get me boys, ow)

Black Star
Last call
Talk to me Harold Zidler
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
Think you're awful nice
But get that ice or else no dice
(Girls)
He's your guy when
Stocks are high but beware
When they start to descend
(Ooh)

Diamonds are a girl's best
Diamonds are a girl's best
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

(Let's make love)
(Ooh)
(Ooh yeah)
(Ooh)
(Ooh tiger)

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