Song lyrics downloaded from: https://www.albumsongandlyrics.com ------------------------------------------ Baz Luhrmann's Moulin Rouge - Sparkling Diamonds ------------------------------------------ The French are glad to die for love... They excite 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 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's...Cartier... [Satine and the Diamond Dogs:] 'Cause we are living in a material world And I am a material girl [Satine:] *kiss sound*, 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 thinks you're... [Zidler:] 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!
