Lyrics Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend (From "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes") - Marilyn Monroe , Jane Russell , Twentieth Century-Fox Studio Orchestra
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-shaped,
These
rocks
don't
lose
their
shape.
Diamonds
are
a
girl's
best
friend.
Tiffany's!
Cartier!
Black
Starr!
Frost
Gormham!
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
girl's
best
friend.
