Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

(Leo Robin/Jule Styne) 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 We all lose our charm in the end But square cut or pear shape These rocks don't lose their shape Diamonds are a girl's best friend Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend Let's rock There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer Diamonds are a girl's best friend There may come a time when a hardboiled 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 spouses And diamonds are a girl's best friend Diamonds are a girl's best friend Yeah diamonds are a girl's best friend Let's rock again Diamonds are a girl's best friend Diamonds are a girl's best friend Diamonds are a girl's best friend Diamonds are a girl's best friend --- Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend - Emmylou Harris
