Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

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 don't lose their shape

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Tiffany's, Cartier

Black Starr, Frost Gorham

Talk to me Harry Winston, tell me all about it

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

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Performed live by Drew Anthony with the Dean Lives band.
