from Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend

(Marilyn Monroe)

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 maybe quite continental
but diamonds are a girls best friend

Men grow cold as girls grow old
and we all lose are charms in the end
But square cut or pear shape
these rocks don't lose there shape
Diamonds are a girls best friend

Time rolls on and youth is gone
and you can't straighten up when you bend
But stiff back or stiff knees
You stand straight at Tiffany's
Diamonds are a girls best friend.

from Baubles, Bangles and Beads

(Peggy Lee)

Baubles, bangles,
Hear how they jing, jing-a-ling-a,
Baubles, bangles,
Bright, shiny beads.
Sparkles, spangles,
My heart will sing, sing-a-ling-a,
Wearing baubles, bangles and beads.
I'll glitter and gleam so,
Make somebody dream so,
That someday he may buy me,
A ring, ring-aling-a,
I've heard that's where it leads,
Wearing baubles and bangles and beads.
