T Bone Burnett - Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend lyrics

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 charm in the end But square cut or pear shaped 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 la** needs a lawyer But 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's rock again
