My Strongest Suit Lyrics
Chorus
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Now I believe in looking
Like my time on earth is cooking
Whether polka dotted, striped or even checked
With some glamour guaranteeing
Every fibre of my being
Is displayed to quite remarkable effect
From your cradle via trousseau
To your death bed you're on view, so
Never compromise, accept no substitute
I would rather wear a barrel
Than conservative apparel
Because dress has always been my strongest suit
Chorus
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
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
Because dress has always been my strongest suit
Chorus
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere (x2)
Now you don't need a recital
Of the reasons why it's vital
That tonight my trappings will not be subsued
That from coronet to sandal
No one else is worth a candle
That I couldn't make more impact in the nude
So bring me all my finest
Most audacious, mi divine-ist
Most revealing, most expensive and to boot
Most arresting, most heart-stopping
Most free flowing, most eye popping
Because dress has always been my strongest suit
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere.
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Like my time on earth is cooking
Whether polka dotted, striped or even checked
With some glamour guaranteeing
Every fibre of my being
Is displayed to quite remarkable effect
From your cradle via trousseau
To your death bed you're on view, so
Never compromise, accept no substitute
I would rather wear a barrel
Than conservative apparel
Because dress has always been my strongest suit
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
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
Because dress has always been my strongest suit
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere (x2)
Of the reasons why it's vital
That tonight my trappings will not be subsued
That from coronet to sandal
No one else is worth a candle
That I couldn't make more impact in the nude
So bring me all my finest
Most audacious, mi divine-ist
Most revealing, most expensive and to boot
Most arresting, most heart-stopping
Most free flowing, most eye popping
Because dress has always been my strongest suit

ahh! this is the song from AIDA.. oy!
In life, one has to face a huge assortment of nauseating facts, and good advice. Health, fitness, diet and deportment and other pointless forms of sacrifice In 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....
My high school chorus is doing this song. Awwww :) I kept giggling because the first part we learned was the repeating "overwear underwear" part...god, I'm so immature! lol. Anyway, I like this song now, it makes me smile
WTF is this doing on the Spice Girls? It's from Aida!
wtf is spice girls doing on this site?
u can neverr have ur own way these days :(
The spice girls did a cover of this song. thats why the "In life..." part isn't in it. It's a rather good cover too, If I do say so myself
Actually, it's not a cover. It's from Elton John and Tim Rice's Aida album. a concept album by Elton John on Aida's Broadway. The song are far more older than the broadway recording, hence the concept album. The album are more Pop record that high profile artists featured on the album. =)
