Les paroles de la chanson
« Diamond's are a girl's best friend »
Marilyn Monroe

The French are glad to die for love
They delight in fighting duals
But I prefer a man who lives and gives
Expensive jewels

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 star, 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 thiks 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
It’s then that those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl’s best friend

I’ve heard of affairs that are strictly plutonic
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
Time rolls on and youth is gone
And you can’t straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany’s
Diamonds!
Diamonds!
I don’t mean rhinestones
But Diamonds are a girl’s best...
Best friends
