Sparkling Diamonds [Original Film Version] Lyrics by Nicole Kidman

[Satine:]
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'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!
