Tunie: Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

About

This isn't my own feminine philosophy; I just love the phrasing.

The French are glad to die for love

They delight in fighting duels

But I prefer a man who lives and gives

Expensive jewels

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 charms in the end

But square-cut or pear-shaped

These rocks won'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 that those louses

Go back to their spouses

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

I've heard of affairs that are

Strictly platonic

But diamonds are a girl's best friend

And I think affairs that you must keep masonic

Make better bets

If little bets get big baguettes

Time rolls on

And youth is gone

And you can't straighten up when you bend

But stiff back or stiff knees

You stand straight at

Tiff'ny's

Diamonds!

Diamonds!

Diamonds!

Diamonds!

I don't need rhinestones

'Cause diamonds

Are a girl's best

Best friend

(see say you don't want no diamond ring for an extra pouf of discussion)
