Diamonds Are A Girl\'s Best Friend 

 

[SATINE] The French are glad to die for love. 

 

                

 

              A kiss on the hand may be quite continental, 

 

              But diamonds are a… 

 

  

 

[SATINE and CHORUS] …girl’s best friend. 

 

  

 

[SATINE] A kiss may be grand,  

 

             But it won’t pay the rental on your humble flat 

 

             Or help you feed your (mmm) pussycat. 

 

  

 

[SATINE and CHORUS] Men grow cold as girls grow old, 

 

  

 

[SATINE] And we all lose our charms in the end. 

 

  

 

[SATINE and CHORUS] But square cut or pear-shape, 

 

                                These rocks don’t lose their shape, 

 

                                Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. 

 

  

 

[SATINE] Tiffany’s! Cartier! 

 

  

 

[SATINE and CHORUS] ‘Cause we are living in a material world, 

 

                                And I am a material girl. 

 

  

 

[SATINE] (*kiss* ahh) Come and get me boys! 

 

                Black star, Roscor! 

 

              Talk to me Harry Zidler, tell me all about it! 

 

              There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer… 

 

  

 

[ZIDLER and CHORUS] But diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Oh! Oh! 

 

  

 

[SATINE] There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer  

 

              Thinks you’re… 

 

  

 

[ZIDLER] Awful nice! 

 

  

 

[SATINE] But get that ice or else no dice! 

 

  

 

[CHORUS] He’s your guy when stocks are high, 

 

               But beware when they start to descend. 

 

               Diamonds are a girl’s best, 

 

               Diamonds are a girl’s best, 

 

               Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. 

 

  

 

[SATINE] Let’s make love. Yes! Oh, oh, tiger! 

 

  

 

[CHORUS] Ole! 

 

  

 

[ZIDLER] Everything’s going so well! 

 

  

 

[SATINE] ‘Cause that’s when those louses 

 

      Go back to their… 

 

  

 

[SATINE and CHORUS] …spouses, 

 

                                Diamonds are a girl’s best… 

 

  

 

[SATINE] …friend.
