My Strongest Suit

Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Tim Rice
Performed by Sherie Rene Scott and Chorus


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 someone glamour guaranteeing
Every fiber of my being
Is displayed to quite remarkable effect
From your cradle via trousseau
To your death bad 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

Women
Overwear, underwear, anytime, anywhere

Amneris
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 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 dress has always been my strongest suit

I am what I wear
I said anytime
Anywhere

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
Most arresting, most heart-stopping
Dress has always been my strongest suit
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, most expensive and to boot
Most heart-stopping
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

Women


Is stitched in time


Such a crime
Overwear
Underwear
Anytime we're wandering through your things
Negligee
Anything but normal

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

Finest
Divinest
Most revealing, most expensive
Most arresting, most heart-stopping
Overwear, underwear
Anytime, anywhere
Dress has always been
I am what I wear, I am what I wear
I am what I wear
Dress has always been my strongest

My finest
Divinest
Most revealing, most expensive
Most arresting
Most free-flowing, most eye-popping
Dress has always been
I am what I wear, I am what I wear
I am what I wear
Dress has been my strongest

My strongest, my strongest
My strongest suit
