Best Of Friends
The Fox And The Hound (1981) Lyrics

The French are glad to die for love
Some people are willing to die for love, like the French are known for

They delight in fighting duels
Some people enjoy duels, which is a type of fight

But I prefer a man who lives
But I would rather have a man who is alive

And gives expensive jewels
And who can give me expensive jewelry

A kiss on the hand
A kiss on the hand is a gesture of affection

May be quite continental
It may be seen as sophisticated or elegant

But diamonds are a girl's best friend
But expensive jewelry is something that many women desire

A kiss may be grand
A romantic kiss can be wonderful

But it won't pay the rental
But it won't help pay your bills

On your humble flat
For your small and modest apartment

Or help you at the automat
Or buy you food from the vending machine

Men grow cold
Men can become less affectionate and loving

As girls grow old
As women age

And we all lose our charms in the end
And eventually, our good looks and appeal will fade away

But square-cut or pear-shaped
Whether the diamond is a certain shape

These rocks don't loose their shape
These diamonds don't lose their form or quality

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Expensive jewelry is something that many women desire and treasure

Tiffany's
A famous jewelry store

Cartier
Another famous jewelry store

Black Starr
A less-known jewelry store

Frost Gorham
A fictional jewelry store

Talk to me Harry Winston
Asking Harry Winston, who is known for his expensive jewelry, for advice

Tell me all about it
Share all the details with me

There may come a time
There might be a situation in the future

When a lass needs a lawyer
When a woman needs a lawyer's assistance

But diamonds are a girl's best friend
But a woman would still rather have jewelry

There may come a time
There might be a situation in the future

When a hard-boiled employer
When a tough employer

Thinks you're awful nice
Thinks you're pleasant or likable

But get that ice or else no dice
But if you don't have the jewelry, then you're out of luck

He's your guy
He's the one you can depend on

When stocks are high
When business is doing well

But beware when they start to descend
But be cautious when business is slowing down

It's then that those louses
It's at that point when those dishonest people

Go back to their spouses
Go back to their partners

Diamonds are a girl's best friend
Expensive jewelry is something that many women desire and treasure

I've heard of affairs
I've heard of romantic relationships

That are strictly platonic
That don't involve any physical or romantic attraction

But diamonds are a girl's best friend
But a woman would still rather have jewelry

And I think affairs
And I believe romantic relationships

That you must keep liaisonic
That you must keep discreet

Are better bets
Are better choices

If little pets get big baguettes
If small pets (like dogs) get big diamond necklaces

Time rolls on
Time passes quickly

And youth is gone
And the days of being young and carefree are over

And you can't straighten up when you bend
And it's hard to stand up straight when you have back or knee problems

But stiff back
But even with a stiff back

Or stiff knees
Or with stiff knees

You stand straight at Tiffany's
You still feel elegant and refined when you're at Tiffany's

Diamonds
Expensive jewelry

Diamonds
Expensive jewelry

I don't mean rhinestones
I'm not talking about fake or imitation jewelry

But diamonds are a girl's best
But expensive jewelry is something that many women desire and treasure

Best friend
Close and dear companion
