Lyrics by tim rice
Elton's solo version is unreleased
In life one has to face a huge a**ortment
Of nauseating fads and good advice
There's health and fitness, diet and deportment
And other pointless forms of sacrifice
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
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere, ooh
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere, ooh
Now i believe in looking like my time on earth is cooking
Whether polka-dotted stripes or even checks
With some glamour guaranteeing every fiber of my being
Is displayed to quite remarkable effects
From your cradle via trousseau to your d**h bed you're on view so
Never compromise accept no substitute
I would rather wear a barrel than conservative apparel
A dress has always been my strongest suit
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's a crime
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
A dress has always been my strongest suit
Now you don't need a recital of the reasons why its vital
That tonight i simply have to look my best
That from coronet to sandal no one else is worth a candle
That i couldn't make more impact if i'm dressed
So bring me out my finest, most audacious, my divinest
Most revealing, most expensive and to boot
Most arresting, most heart-stopping, most free-flowing, most eye-popping
A dress has always been my strongest suit
