Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend Lyrics - Twenty Twenty - The Essential T Bone Burnett - Burnett T-bone

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 grown 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. 

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 be 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. 

Diamonds are a girl's best friend 

Let 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 

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
