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
