Lyrics -

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 the some glamour guaranteeing
Every fiber on of my being
Is displayed to quite remarkable effect


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

Staying in or hitting town wards
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 is 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
For that dress has always been
My strongest suit

I am what I wear
I said anytime Anytime


So bring me all my finest
Most audacious, my divinest
Most revealing expensive
Most expensive and to boot


Most arresting
Most heart-stoping
Most free-flowing
Most eye-popping
Most arresting
Most heart-stopping
Dress has always been my strongest suit

You know that I am what I wear
Dress has always been my strongest suit

So bring me all my finest
Most audacious, my divinest
Most revealing expensive
Most expensive and to boot

Most arresting
Most heart-stoping
Most free-flowing
Most eye-popping
Dress has always been my strongest suit
My strongest suit

You know that I am what I wear
Dress has always been my strongest
My strongest
My strongest
My strongest
My strongest
My strongest suit

The girl who sings this four our school's version is very close to how Sherie Rene Scott sings this. It sounds really pretty.
