Elton John & Tim Rice My Strongest Suit lyrics

Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere

Now I believe in lookin' like my time on earth is cookin'
Whether polka dotted, striped or even checked
With some glamor guaranteein' every fiber of my bein'
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
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


Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere

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 divinest
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
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
