*Diamonds Are A Girl's Best Friend*

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 charms in the end
But square-cut or pear-shaped
these rocks don't lose their shape
Diamonds are a girl's best friend
...Tiffany's...Cartier...Black Star...Frot Gorom
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
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
It's then that those louses go back to their spouses
Diamonds are a girl's best friend

I've heard of affairs that are strictly platonic
but diamonds are a girl's best friend
and I think affairs that you must keep liaisonic
are better bets if little pets get big baggettes

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...
but Diamonds...are a girl's best friend



*I Wanna Be Loved By You*

I wanna be loved by you
Just you and nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you alone
pooh pooh bee doo

I wanna be kissed by you
Just you and nobody else but you
I wanna be kissed by you alone

I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than to fill the desire
To make you my own
paah-dum paah-dum doo bee dum, pooooo

I wanna be loved by you
Just you and nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you alone

I couldn't aspire
To anything higher
Than to fill the desire
To make you my own
paah-dum paah-dum doo bee dum, pooooo

I wanna be loved by you
Just you and nobody else but you
I wanna be loved by you alone
paah-deeedle-eedeedle-eedeedle-eedum, poo pooo beee dooo



*River of No Return*

If you listen, you can hear it call, wailaree! (wailaree!)
There is a river called the River of No Return
Sometimes it's peaceful, and sometimes wild and free
Love is a traveler on the River of No Return
Swept on forever to be lost in the stormy sea (wailaree!)
I can hear the river call, no return, no return, no return, no return (wailaree!)
I can hear my lover call, "Come to me" (no return, no return)
I lost my love on the river and forever my heart will yearn
Gone, gone forever down the River of No Return (wailaree!) (wailaree!) wailaree!
You never return to me (no return, no return)



*Bye Bye Baby*

I'll be in my room alone
every post meridian
and I'll be with my diary
and that book by Mister Gideon

Bye, bye, baby remember you're my baby
when they give you the eye
and just to show that I care
I will write and declare
that I'm on the loose
but I'm still on the square

I've been lonely
but even though I'm lonely
there'll be no other guy
Though I'll be gone for a while
I know that I'll be smiling
with my baby by and by
with my baby by and by

I'll be gloomy
but send that rainbow to me
then my shadows will fly
Though you'll be gone fo a while
I know that I'll be smiling
with my baby by and by


*Two Little Girls*

We're just two little girls from Little Rock
we lived on the wrong side of the tracks
but the gentleman friends who used to call
they never did seem to mind at all
they came to the wrong side of the tracks

Then someone broke my heart in Little Rock
so I up and left the pieces there
like a little lost lamb I roamed about
I came to New York and I found out
that men are the same way everywhere

I was young and determined
to be wined and dined and ermined
and I worked at it all around the clock
Now one of these days in my fancy clothes
I'm gonna go back home and punch the nose
of the one who broke my heart
in Little Rock

I'm just a little girl from Little Rock
a horse used to be my closest pal
Though I never did learn to read or write
I learned about love in the pale moonlight
and now I'm an educated gal

I learned an awful lot in Little Rock
and here's some advice I'd like to share
Find a gentleman who's shy or bold
or short or tall or young or old
as long as the guy's a millionaire

For a kid from a small street
I did very well on Wall Street
though I never owned a share of stock
and now that I'm known in the biggest banks
I'm going back home and give my thanks
to the one who broke my heart in Little Rock!

*Anyone Can See I Love You*


Anyone can see I love you
Anyone can see I care
The way I hold your hand
And smile in your sirection
Shows the world my heart is filled
With Nothing but affection

Lock Me in your arms forever
That is where I want to be
So anyone can see
That I belong to you and
You belong to me

Lock me in your arms forever
That is where I want to be
So anyone can see
That I belong to you
And you belong to-me!

*Every Baby Needs A Da Da Daddy*

It was cold outside of Tiffany's, I was shivering in the storm.
I walked in and  asked a gentleman "could I please keep warm?".
He asked me "How come a baby doll, has no comfy place to go?"
so I told that kindly gentleman my tale of ward.

Every baby needs a da da daddy to keep her worry free.
Every baby needs a da da daddy, but where's one for me?

Rich or poor , I don't care who.
If he hasn't got a million then a half will do!

Every baby needs a da da daddy... Could my da daddy be you?
Every baby needs a da da daddy to fill her with his care
Every baby needs a da da daddy who has some gold to spare.

Some sweet daddy who enjoys
bringing home to baby little diamond toys.
Every baby needs a da da daddy...Could my da daddy be you?
Every baby needs a da da daddy in case she runs her ground.
Every baby needs a da da daddy to keep her safe and sound.
Every baby needs a da da daddy, could my daddy be you?

*My Heart Belongs To Daddy*

While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
'cause my heart belongs to Daddy

If I invite a boy some night
to dine on my fine food and haddie
I just adore his asking for more
but my heart belongs to Daddy

Yes, my heart belongs to my Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Dad

So I want to warn you laddie
Though I know that you're perfectly swell
that my heart belongs to Daddy
'cause my Daddy, he treats it so well

While tearing off a game of golf
I may make a play for the caddy
But when I do, I don't follow through
shooga dooga doo shooga dooga doo
Ooh Daddy!

If I invite a boy some night
To cook up a fine enchilada
Though Spanish rich is all very nice

Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
So I simply couldn't be bad
Yes, my heart belongs to Daddy
Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Da, Dad

So I want to warn you laddie
Though I know you're perfectly swell
That my heart belongs to my Daddy
'cause Daddy, my daddy, my little ol' Daddy, he treats it so......
That little ol' man he just treats it so good!



*Running Wild*

Running wild
Lost control
Running wild
Mighty bold
Feeling gay, reckless too
Carefree mind all the time, never blue

Always going
Don't know where
Always showing I don't care
Don't love nobody
It's not worthwhile

All alone
Running wild



*A Fine Romance*

A fine romance, my good fellow
You take romance, I'll take jello
You're calmer than the seals in the Artic Ocean
At least they flap their fins to express emotion

A fine romance with no quarrels
with no insults and all morals
I've never mussed the crease in your blue serge pants
I never get the chance
This is a fine romance

A fine romance with no kisses
A find romance, my friend this is
To lack half the thrills that a healthy crime has
We don't have half the thrills that the march of time has

A fine romance with no clinches
A fine romance with no flinches
You're just as hard to land as the Ille de France
I haven't got a chance
My heart isn't made of plastic
You're too sarcastic
This is a fine romance
