Song by Nicole Kidman<br /><br>

[Satine:]<br>

The French are glad to die for love...<br>

<b>They excite in fighting duals<br>

But I prefer a man who lives<br>

And gives expensive jewels.</b><br>

<br>

A kiss on the hand may be quite continental,<br>

But diamonds are a girl's best friend.<br>

A kiss may be grand, but it won't pay the rental<br>

On your humble flat, or help you feed your<br>

pussy cat.<br>

<br>

Men grow cold as girls grow old,<br>

And we all lose our charms in the end.<br>

But square-cut or pear-shaped,<br>

These rocks don't lose their shape.<br>

Diamonds are a girl's best friend!<br>

<br>

...Tiffany's...Cartier...<br>

<br>

[Satine and the Diamond Dogs:]<br>

'Cause we are living in a material world<br>

And I am a material girl<br>

<br>

[Satine:]<br>

*kiss sound*, Ah<br>

Come and get me, boys<br>

Black Star, Ross Cole<br>

Talk to me, Harry Zilder, tell me all about it!<br>

There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer<br>

<br>

[Zidler and the Diamond Dogs:]<br>

But diamonds are a girl's best friend<br>

<br>

[Satine:]<br>

There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer thinks you're...<br>

<br>

[Zidler:]<br>

Awful nice!<br>

<br>

[Satine:]<br>

But get that ice or else no dice!<br>

<br>

Diamond Dogs:<br>

He's your guy when stocks are high<br>

But beware when they start to descend<br>

Oooo...Diamonds are a girl's best,<br>

Diamonds are a girls best,<br>

Diamonds are a girls best friend!<br>

<br>

[Satine:]<br>

Let's make love<br>

Yes!<br>

Oh, come on<br>

Yes!<br>

<br>

[Zilder:]<br>

Oh!<br>

<br>

[Satine:]<br>

Tiger!<br>

Roar! Roar!<br>

<br>

[Nini Legs-In-The-Air:]<br>

Ole!<br>

<br>

[Zidler:] Everything's going so well!<br>

<br>

[Satine:]<br>

'Cause that's those louses go back to their spouses!<br>

Diamonds... are a... girl's... best... friend!<br>

<br>
