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

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 lass 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
