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. 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.
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 liaisonic are better bets if little pets get big baggettes. I've been lonely but even though I'm lonely there'll be no other guy. Though I'll be gone for a while I know that I'll be smiling with my baby by and by with my baby by and by. I'll be gloomy but send that rainbow to me then my shadows will fly. Though you'll be gone fo a while I know that I'll be smiling with my baby by and by.
