Dressing Them Up

[MOLINA]

Dressing them up
I love the dressing them up
The subtle tilt of a hat
Touches like that
Makes me the best of the lot
At dressing them up
I was the cream of the crop
The way I buckled the belt
Folded the felt
Helped me to get where I got
Before I got where I got!
I was the absolute top
For example:
Once I asked for a Balenciaga scarf
To stuff in a mannequin's purse
They told me, no one on earth will see!
I answered, no one on earth but me!
I stood my ground as no other dresser does
And darling guess what? Balenciaga, it was!
Dressing them up,
I was the creme de la creme
As I adjusted each hem
I keep on dazzling them
At my particular store
Which was the best in the town
You'd never catch them wearing a frown
Or catch them dressing me down
For my finesse at dressing them up
Raise that skirt, just an inch or two
Add some rouge, just a pinch or two
Start the fan
No, much gustier
Stuff that gauze
Make her bustier
Ooh! That frock, too much red in it!
I would not be caught dead in it
Well, they start out like hell
But I make them sell by
Dressing them up
From earrings down to their boots
In evening dresses or suits
Unlike some second rate fruits
At other second rate stores
Which can't compare to my own
You'll never catch them wearin a frown
Or catch them dressing me down
For my finesse at dressing them up!
I had the touch...
Thank you very much!
