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
