lirik lagu john kander - dressing them up

[molina] (spoken)
we’re going to be together for some time
you’d think you’d want to know something about me!
of course, dressing things up is my spec-i-al-i-ty
i’m a window dresser, at montoya’s
their -main- store, thank you very much!
and i’m good at it, too!
and do you know why? hm? hm?
it’s because i can’t rest until each mannequin is perfect

[molina] (sung)
dressing them up
i love the dressing them up
the subtle tilt of a hat
touches like that
make 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’ll 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 all start off like h-ll
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 have the touch
thank you very much!
