Elton John - My Strongest Suit 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 or stripes 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
Because dress has always been
My strongest suit

Over-wear, underwear, anytime, anywhere

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
Because dress has always been my strongest suit

Over-wear, underwear, anytime, anywhere
Over-wear, underwear, (I am what I wear) anytime, anywhere
Over-wear, underwear, (I said anytime) anytime, anywhere
Over-wear, underwear, anytime, anywhere (anywhere)

So bring me out my finest, most audacious,my divine-est
Most revealing most expensive and to boot
Most arresting, most, most heart-stopping,
most free-flowing most eye-popping,
most arresting, most heart-stopping, yea
Because dress has always been my strongest suit

I don t care what I wear
I don t care what I wear
You know that I am what I wear
A dress has always been my strongest suit
