Julie London - Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend lyrics

The French are glad to die for love They delight in fighting duels But I prefer a man who lives And gives expensive j**els A kiss on the hand may be quite continental But diamonds are a girls best friend. A kiss may be grand but it wont 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 Those rocks dont lose their shape. Diamonds are a girls best friend. There may come a time when a la** needs a lawyer But diamonds are a girls best friend. There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer Thinks youre awful nice But get that ice or else no dice. Hes your guy when stocks are high But beware when they start to descend. Its then that those louses Go back to their spouses. Diamonds are a girls best friend.
