Lyrics:

Satine:
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 feed your helpless 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...

Satine and the Diamond Dogs:
Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

Satine:
Ah
Come and get me, boys
Black Star, Ross Cole
Talk to me, Harry Zilder, tell me all about it!
There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer

Zidler and the Diamond Dogs:
But diamonds are a girl's best friend

Satine:
There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer

Zidler:
Thinks you're awful nice

Satine:
But get that ice or else no dice

Diamond Dogs:
He's your guy when stocks are high
But beware when they start to descend
Oooo...Diamonds are a girl's best
Diamonds are a girls best
Diamonds are a girls best friend

Satine:
Let's make love
Yes!
Oh, come on
Yes!

Zilder:
Oh!

Satine:
Tiger!
Roar! Roar!

Nini Legs-In-The-Air:
Ole!

Zidler: Everything's going so well!

Satine:
Cause that's those louses go back to their spouses!
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
