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.

A well-conducted rendezvous
Makes a maiden's heart beat quicker,
But when the rendezvous is through
These stones still keep their flicker;
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.
