Lyrics

[Verse 1]
In life, one has to face a huge assortment
Of nauseating fads and good advice
There's health and fitness, diet and deportment
And other pointless forms of sacrifice
[Verse 2]
Conversation, wit, I am a doubter
Manners, charm, they're no way to impress
So forget the inner me, observe the outer
I am what I wear and how I dress
[Verse 3]
Oh, now I believe in lookin' like my time on Earth is cookin'
Whether polka dotted, striped, or even checked
With some glamour guaranteein' every fiber of my bein'
Is displayed to quite remarkable effect
[Verse 4]
From your cradle via trousseau to your deathbed you're on view
So never compromise, accept no substitute
I would rather wear a barrel than conservative apparel
For dress has always been my strongest suit
[Verse 5]
Overwear
Underwear
Anytime
Anywhere
[Verse 6]
Staying in or hitting townwards
From the top and working downwards
I ensure that every stitch is stitched in time
Whether wig or hat or turban, whether clad boudoir or urban
Not to strut your stuff outrageously is a crime
[Verse 7]
And the few who are invited to my wardrobe are delighted
As they wander through my things to find en route
That in negligee or formal I am anything but normal
That dress has always been my strongest suit
[Verse 8]
I am what I wear
I say anytime, anywhere
[Verse 9]
So bring me all my finest, most audacious, my divinest
Most revealing, most expensive, and too boot
Most arresting
Most heart-stopping
Most free-flowing, most eye-popping
Most arresting, most heart-stopping, yeah
Dress has always been my strongest suit
[Verse 10]
My strongest suit
You know that I am what I wear
Dress has always been my strongest suit
[Verse 11]
So bring me all my finest, most audacious, my divinest
Most revealing, most expensive, and too boot
Most arresting
Most heart-stopping
Most free-flowing, most eye-popping
Dress has always been my strongest suit
[Verse 12]
My strongest suit
You know that I am what I wear
Dress has always been my strongest
My strongest, my strongest
My strongest
My strongest
My strongest suit
