[00:00.00]Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend - Dora Bryan/Anne Hart/John Griffin
[00:25.57]The French you're sure glad to die for love
[00:29.26]
[00:30.96]They delight in fighting duels
[00:33.55]
[00:35.63]But I prefer a man who lives
[00:39.79]
[00:41.53]And gives expensive jewels
[00:47.80]
[00:51.64]A kiss on the hand may be quite continental
[00:56.20]But diamonds are a girl's best friend
[00:59.25]
[01:00.77]A kiss may be grand
[01:02.72]But it won't pay the rental on your humble flat
[01:06.82]
[01:07.52]Or help you at the automat
[01:09.46]
[01:10.11]Men grow cold as girls grow old
[01:14.34]And we all lose our charms in the end
[01:17.95]
[01:19.31]But square cut or pear shape these rocks
[01:22.79]Don't lose their shape
[01:24.47]
[01:25.80]Diamonds are a girl's best friend
[01:28.82]
[01:30.33]Romance is divine
[01:32.22]And I'm not one to knock it
[01:34.75]But diamonds are a girl's best friend
[01:37.80]
[01:39.32]Romance is divine
[01:41.31]Yes but where can you hock it
[01:43.56]When the flame has gone
[01:45.35]
[01:46.08]Just try and pawn some tired Don Juan
[01:49.95]
[01:50.70]Some men buy and some just sigh
[01:54.94]That to make you their bride they intend
[01:58.41]
[01:59.82]But buyers or sighers
[02:02.35]They're such goddamn liars
[02:04.51]
[02:05.99]Diamonds are a girl's best friend
[02:08.95]
[02:10.25]At Yale there's a lad
[02:12.17]Whose appeal I acknowledge
[02:14.76]But diamonds are a girl's best friend
[02:17.76]
[02:19.12]I might like his dad
[02:21.08]But when I meet a college boy
[02:23.56]The thing I say
[02:25.11]
[02:25.84]Is 'ray 'ray 'ray for Cartier
[02:28.76]
[02:30.45]Stash those rocks in your strongbox
[02:34.39]For on them you can always depend
[02:38.19]
[02:40.46]It's not compensation
[02:42.63]
[02:43.31]It's self-preservation
[02:47.10]
[02:49.25]Diamonds are a girl's best
[02:52.29]
[02:53.07]I don't mean rhinestones
[02:55.00]Diamonds diamonds
