Diamonds are a girl's best friend

E essa é a música da Marilyn:



The French are glad to die for love,
they delight in fighting duels.
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

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...
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses,
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

We heard of affairs that are strictly platonic,
but diamonds are a girl's best friend...
and I think affairs that you must get with sonnets,
are better bets if little pets get big baguettes,

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 tiff-nees,
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
