Della Reese - Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend (Remastered) Lyrics

Lyrics Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend (Remastered) - Della Reese



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-shaped,
These 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
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
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
It's been proven beyond the shadow of a doubt
That diamonds area girl's only 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 liaisonic
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 girl's best friend.
