Dressing Them Up

Lyrics
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? Thanks for asking It's because I can't rest until each mannequin is perfect (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 Hеlped me to get whеre 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 start off 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 have the touch Thank you very much!
