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
But 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
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 the those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
