Sparkling Diamonds 2 lyrics

Sparkling Diamonds 2

 Nicole Kidman

 (Moulin Rouge)

 

 There are usually three places in this song that are almost indecipherable:


 1. The first is that she is saying "Feed your (here she purrs) pussycat. Not
housy cat. Not helpless cat. (Which, when you think about it, doesn't make a
whole lot of sense). This one is very clear - listen, you'll see.

 2. The second - is she saying Roz Car, Ross Call, Rascal. The truth is, you
can check out a hundred sites and they all say something different. Since they
have yet to formally publish the lyrics, no one knows - we're all guessing on
this one.

 3. It's hard-BOILED employer - just like the original Marilyn Monroe version.
(Although there is a web site where a girl guessed on nearly all the lyrics.
They're pretty funny - my favorite is her interpretation of "hot poised
employer".) 

 Side note: Marilyn originally sang "The French are BRED to die for love." It
was thought this was too offensive, so the line was changed.

 

 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 (purr) pussycat

 

 Men grow cold as girls grow old

 And we all lose our charms in the end

 But square cut or pear shape 

 These rocks don't lose their shape

 'Cause diamonds are a girl's best friend

 

 Tiffany!

 Cartier!

 

 'Cause we are living in a material world and I am a material girl

 Come and get me boys

 Black star, (who knows) 

 Talk to me Harry Zidler, tell me all about it!

 

 There may come a time when a lass needs a lawyer

 But diamonds are a girl's best friend

 There may come a time when a hard-boiled employer thinks you're awful nice

 But get that ice or else no dice

 

 He's your guy when stocks are high but beware when they start to descend

 Oh, diamonds are a girl's best

 Diamonds are a girl's best

 Diamonds are a girl's best friend

 

 Let's make love

 Yes! yes! 

 

 Harry Zidler: Everything's going so well!

 

 'Cause that's when those louses go back to their spouses

 Diamonds are a girl's best friend
