The Sparkling Diamond

Ladies and Gentlemen
Bohemians and Artists
Coquettes and Boulevardiers!
May I present to you our "Sparkling Diamond"
The unique, the indomitable, the one and only!
Satine

Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They won't leave in the night
I've no fear that they might desert me

Diamonds are forever
Hold one up and then caress it
Touch it, stroke it and undress it
I can see every part
Nothing hides in their heart to hurt me

Diamonds are forever and ever and ever

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 pussycat

Men grow cold as girls grow old
And we all lose our charms in the end
But square-cut or pair-shaped
These rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

Cause we are living in a material world
And I am a material girl

All the single ladies

All the single ladies

All the single ladies

All the single ladies

All the single ladies

All the single ladies

All the single ladies

Now put your hands up

Gloss on my lips
Man on my hips
Tighter than my Dereon Jeans

Acting up
Drink in my cup
I can't care less what you think

I need no permission
Did I mention?
Don't pay him any attention

'Cause you've had your turn
And now you're gonna learn
What it really feels like to miss me

'Cause if you liked it
Then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it
Then you should've put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you like it then you should've put a ring on it

Whoa
Whoa

Diamonds are a girl's best friend

She's a brick house
She's mighty-mighty

Tiffany (no, you're never gonna get it)

Cartier (never, never gonna get it)

Black Star (no, you're never gonna get it)

Ross Cole (never, never gonna get it)

Talk to me Harry Zidler
Tell me all about it

The Moulin Rouge is a state of mind

Shine bright like a diamond

Shine bright like a diamond

The sparkling diamond, Satine

Shine bright like a diamond

Whoa (all the single ladies)
Whoa (if you liked it then you should've put a ring on it)
Whoa (all the single ladies)

Diamonds are forever (if you liked it then you should've put a ring on it)
(All the single ladies)

Diamonds are forever and ever

He's your guy when stakes are high
But beware when they start to descend

It's then that those louses
Go back to their spouses

Diamonds
Are a girl's
Best
Friend
