Sparkling Diamonds 2001 'Moulin Rouge'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 08 Oct 2002

The French are glad to die for love.

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 pussy cat.
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
Cartier

'Cause we are living in a material world
and I am a material girl.
Kiss Aah,
Come and get me boys.

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 hardboiled employer
thinks you're awful nice
but get that ice or else no dice.
He is your guy
when stocks are high,
but beware when they start to descend.

Diamonds are a girl's best
diamonds are a girl's best
diamonds are a girl's best friend.

'Cause that's when those louses
go back to their spouses.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
