John Kander - Dressing Them Up lyrics

Artist: John Kander

album: Kiss of the Spider Woman (Original Cast Recording)


We're going to be together for some time
You think you'd want to know something about me
Of course, dressing things up is my specialty
I'm a window dresser
At Montoya's
Their main store
Thank you very much!
And I'm good at it, too
Do you know why? Hm? Hm?
It's because I can't rest
Until each mannequin
Is perfect
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 kept 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 wearing a frown
Or catch them dressing me down
For my finesse at dressing them up!
I had the touch
Thank you very much!
