Lyrics
0:36Dressing them up
0:37I love the dressing them up
0:40The subtle tilt of a hat
0:42Touches like that
0:43Makes me the best of the lot
0:45At dressing them up
0:47I was the cream of the crop
0:49The way I buckled the belt
0:51Folded the felt
0:52Helped me to get where I got
0:55Before I got where I got
0:57I was the absolute top
1:00For example:
1:01Once I asked for a Balenciaga scarf
1:04To stuff in a mannequin's purse
1:07They told me no one on earth will see
1:09I answered no one on earth but me
1:12I stood my ground as no other dresser does
1:15And darling guess what Balenciaga it was
1:21Dressing them up
1:23I was the creme de la creme
1:25As I adjusted each hem
1:27I keep on dazzling them
1:30At my particular store
1:32Which was the best in the town
1:34You'd never catch them wearing a frown
1:37Or catch them dressing me down
1:40For my finesse at dressing them up
1:46Raise that skirt just an inch or two
1:49Add some rouge just a pinch or two
1:51Start the fan
1:52No much gustier
1:53Stuff that gauze
1:54Make her bustier
1:55Ooh That frock too much red in it
1:58I would not be caught dead in it
2:00Well they start out like hell
2:03But I make them sell by
2:07Dressing them up
2:08From earrings down to their boots
2:10In evening dresses or suits
2:13Unlike some second rate fruits
2:15At other second rate stores
2:17Which can't compare to my own
2:19You'll never catch them wearin a frown
2:22Or catch them dressing me down
2:25For my finesse at dressing them up
2:31I had the touch
2:32Thank you very much
