Original Broadway Cast My Strongest Suit Lyrics

Amneris: Women:
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

Oh now I believe in looking
Like my time on earth is cooking
Whether polka dotted
Striped or even checked
With the some glamour guaranteeing
Every fiber on of my being
Is displayed to quite remarkable effect

From your cradle via trousseau Ah
To your deathbed you're on view, so Ah
Never compromise, accept no substitute Ah
I would rather wear a barrel Ah
Than conservative apparel Ah
For my dress has always been Ah
My strongest suit Ah
Overwear
Underwear
Anytime
Anywhere

Staying in or hitting town wards Ooh ooh ooh ah
From the top and working downwards Ooh ooh ooh ah
I ensure that every stitch Ooh ooh ooh ah
Is stitched in time

Whether wig or hat or turban Is stitched in time
Whether clad boudoir or urban Ooh ooh ooh ah
Not to strut your stuff Ooh ooh ooh ah
Outrageously's a crime Ooh ooh ooh ah

Such a crime
And the few who are invited Oooh overwear
To my wardrobe are delighted Oooh underwear
As they wander through my things Oooh anytime
To find en route We're wandering through your things

Ooh negligee
That in negligee or formal Ooh anything but normal normal
I am anything but normal
Ooh ah

For my dress has always been Overwear, underwear
My strongest suit Anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear
Anytime, anywhere
I am what I wear Overwear, underwear
Anytime, anywhere
Overwear,underwear
I said anytime Anytime

Anywhere
Finest
Divinest
So bring me all my finest
Most audacious, my divinest Most revealing most
Most revealing expensive
Most expensive and to boot Most arresting

Most heartstopping
Most arresting Most heart-stoping
Overwear
Most heartstopping Underwear
Most free-flowing Anytime
Most eye-popping
Most arresting Anywhere
Most heart-stopping
Dress has always been
Dress has always been
I am what I wear
My strongest suit
I am what I wear
My strongest suit
I am what I wear
You know that
I am what I wear
Dress has always been
My strongest
