All Diamonds Are Blood Diamonds


There is probably not one adult anywhere in the civilised world who doesn’t know the charmingly stupid Marilyn Monroe song ‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friends’ or at least its title. The movie was the launch of the most successful advertising campaign ever of South African diamond miner DeBeers. Since then, women all over the world have been measuring how much they are valued by their man – and how valuable that man is as a provider - by the famous five C’s: colour, carat, clarity, cut and certifications.

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
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 at the automat.

Men grow cold
As girls grow old,
And we all lose our [envy] charms in the end.

But square-cut or pear-shaped,
These [k]rocks don't loose their shape.
Diamonds are a girl's best friend. [not!]

Tiffany's!
Cartier!
Black Starr!
Frost Gorham!
Talk to me Harry Winston.
Tell me all about it!

There may come a time
When a lass needs a lawyer,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.
[take 'em to your grave]

There may come a time
When a hard-boiled employer
Thinks you're awful nice,
But get that ice or else no dice. [lol]

He's your guy
When stocks are high,
But beware when they start to descend.

It's then that those louses
Go back to their spouses.
Diamonds are a [tramp's] girl's best friend.

I've heard of affairs
That are strictly platonic,
But diamonds are a girl's best friend.
[gold digger]

And I think affairs
That you must keep liaisonic
Are better bets
If little pets get big baguettes.
[now you're petting the things? sheesh]

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! Diamonds!
I don't mean rhinestones! [why not ya fake]
But diamonds are[n't] a girl's best friend.

Holy cow;
i'm sure Marilyn was deeper than this song, but.. oUCH.

JFK did much better with Jackie, but i'm sure she had alot of jew-trinkets too.

So it cuts glass? big deal.
They'd make wicked arrow tips,
were cupid a heartbreaker.
