Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend - Jo Stafford

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

Then we all lose our charm in the end

But square cut or pear shape

Those rocks don't lose their shape

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

The French are glad to die for love

They delight in fighting duels

But I prefer a man who lives

And gives expensive jewels

Romance is divine and I'm not one to knock it

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

Romance is divine yes but where can you hock it?

When the flame is gone

Just try and pawn an old Don Juan

Some men buy and some just sigh

That to make you their bride they intend

But buyers or sighers

They're all of for liars

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

He's your guy when stocks are high

But beware when they start to descend

It's then

That's those louses, go back to their spouses

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
