Dressing Them Up
[MOLINA, spoken]
Of course, dressing things up is my spec-i-al-i-ty
I'm a window dresser, at Montoya's
Their main store, thank you very much!
And I'm good at it, too!
And do you know why?
Thanks for asking
It's because I can't rest until each mannequin is perfect

(sung)
Dressing them up
I love the dressing them up
The subtle tilt of a hat
Touches like that
Make me the best of the lot
At dressing them up
I was the cream of the crop
The way I buckled the belt
Folded the felt
Hеlped me to get whеre I got

Before I got where I got
I was the absolute top

For example, once I asked for a Balenciaga scarf
To stuff in a mannequin's purse
They told me, "No one on earth will see"
I answered, "No one on earth but me"
I stood my ground as no other dresser does
And, darling, guess what?
Balenciaga, it was!
Dressing them up
I was the creme-de-la-creme
As I adjusted each hem
I kept on dazzling them!
At my particular store
Which was the best in the town
You'll never catch them wearing a frown
Or catch them dressing me down
For my finesse at dressing them up!

Raise that skirt
Just an inch or two
Add some rouge!
Just a pinch or two
Start the fan
No! Much gustier
Stuff that gauze
Make her bustier
Ooh, that frock
Too much red in it
I would not
Be caught dead in it!

Well
They start off like hell
But I make them sell!
By dressing them up
From earrings down to their boots
In evening dresses or suits
Unlike some second-rate fruits
At other second-rate stores
Which can't compare to my own!
You'll never catch them wearing a frown
Or catch them dressing me down
For my finesse
At dressing them up!

I have the touch
Thank you very much!
