Beyoncé
The Sparkling Diamond
[ZIDLER, spoken]
Ladies and Gentlemen
Bohemians and Artists
Coquettes and Boulevardiers
May I present to you our "Sparkling Diamond"
The unique, the indomitable, the one and only
Satine

[SATINE, sung]
Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me

Diamonds are forever
Hold one up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see every part
Nothing hides in their heart to hurt me

Diamonds are forever and ever and ever

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 feed your pussycat
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

[ALL WOMEN]
'Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

[GROUP ONE]
All the single ladies

[GROUP TWO]

[GROUP TWO]
All the single ladies
[GROUP ONE]

[ALL WOMEN]
Now put your hands up

[SATINE]
Gloss on my lips
Man on my hips
Tighter than my Dereon Jeans

Acting up
Drink in my cup
I can't care less what you think

I need no permission
Did I mention?
Don't pay him any attention

'Cause you've had your turn
And now you're gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me

[SATINE AND WOMEN]
'Cause if you liked it
Then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it
Then you should've put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you like it then you should've put a ring on it
Whoa uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Whoa uh oh uh uh oh oh uh

[SATINE]
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

[MEN]
She's a brick house
She's mighty-mighty

[SATINE, WOMEN]
Tiffany (No, you're never gonna get it)
Cartier (Never, never gonna get it)

[SATINE]
Talk to me Harry Zidler
Tell me all about it

[ZIDLER, spoken]
The Moulin Rouge is a state of mind

[SATINE]
Shine bright like a diamond

[SATINE]
Diamonds are forever

[MEN]
If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it
All the single ladies

[SATINE]
Diamonds are forever and ever

[SATINE AND WOMEN]
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend

[SATINE]
It's then that those louses
Go back to their spouses

Diamonds
Are a girl's
Best
Friend
