Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend (Live)

Diamonds are a girl's best friend - Marilyn 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 platonic

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

And I think affairs that you must keep masonic 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"
