AMNERIS:
In life, one has to face a huge assortment
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 some glamour guaranteeing
Every fiber 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
For a dress has always been
My strongest suit
AMNERIS: (Sung with chorus above)
I am what I wear, I say anytime, anywhere!
So bring me all my finest,
Most audacious, my divinest
Most revealing, most expensive and to boot
GIRLS:
Most revealing, most expensive, most arresting!
AMNERIS: Most arresting!
GIRLS: Most heart-stopping...
AMNERIS: Most heart-stopping!
Most free-flowing, most eye-popping
Most arresting, most heart-stopping yeah!
A dress has always been my strongest suit
GIRLS: I am what I wear
AMNERIS: My strongest suit!
GIRLS: I am what I wear
AMNERIS and GIRLS:
You know that I am what I wear!
AMNERIS:
A dress has always been my strongest suit!
So bring me all 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! (I am what I wear)
My strongest suit! (I am what I wear)
You know that I am what I wear!
A dress has always been my strongest...
my strongest...
my strongest...
my strongest...
my strongest...
my strongest...
Suit!
