[00:02.64]The French are glad to die for love
[00:07.77]They delight in fighting duels
[00:13.05]But I prefer a man who lives
[00:19.08]And gives expensive jewels
[00:24.03]A kiss on the hand
[00:26.25]May be quite continental
[00:29.16]But diamonds are a girl's best friend
[00:34.41]A kiss may be grand
[00:37.50]But it won't pay the rental
[00:39.27]On your humble flat
[00:41.76]Or help you at the automat
[00:44.79]Men grow cold
[00:47.34]As girls grow old

[01:39.33]When a hard-boiled employer
[01:41.01]Thinks you're awful nice
[01:43.98]But get that ice or else no dice
[01:47.28]He's your guy
[01:49.32]When stocks are high
[01:51.72]But beware when they start to descend
[01:57.09]It's then that those louses

[02:02.64]Diamonds are a girl's best friend
[02:15.27]I've heard of affairs
[02:17.58]That are strictly platonic
[02:20.40]But diamonds are a girl's best friend
[02:25.47]And I think affairs
[02:27.72]That you must keep liaisonic
[02:30.51]Are better bets
[02:33.00]If little pets get big baguettes
[02:36.00]Time rolls on
[02:38.82]And youth is gone
[02:40.71]And you can't straighten up when you bend
[02:45.87]But stiff back
[02:47.31]Or stiff knees
[02:48.57]You stand straight at Tiffany's
[02:50.01]Diamonds! Diamonds!

The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duels

A kiss on the hand

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 don't loose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Tiffany's!
