Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend Lyrics - Sings The Standards - Julie London

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-shaped 

Those rocks don't lose their shape. 

Diamonds are a girl's best friend.

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.
