[Verse 1]
But it won't pay the rental
On your humble flat
Or help you at the automat

[Verse 2]
Men grow cold
As girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end

[Verse 3]
But square-cut or pear-shaped
These rocks won’t loose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Tiffany's

[Verse 4]
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 еlse no dice

[Verse 5]
He's your guy
Whеn stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
[Verse 6]
It's then that those louses
Go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Hey!

[Verse 7]
I've heard of affairs
That are strictly platonic
But diamonds are a girl's best friend

[Verse 8]
And I think affairs
That you must keep liaisonic
Are better bets
If little pets get big baguettes

[Verse 9]
Time rolls on
And youth is gone
And you can't straighten up when you bend

[Verse 10]
But stiff back
Or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany’s
[Outro]
Diamonds, diamonds
I don’t mean rhinestones
But diamonds are a girl's best, best friend
