Lyrics: "Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend," - not to be greedy, BUT I AM writing that "Sexiest Jewels" series... ;) And, Lorelei Lee, played by Marilyn, does KNOW her diamonds!!!...

"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 feed your dog or cat.

Men grow cold

 As girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end,
But square-cut or pear-shaped,
Those 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 liaisonic
Are better bets if little pets get big bagettes!
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...
I don't mean rhinestones, ---
But Diamonds, Are A Girl's Best Friend!"
