Dress Your Way Up
 作词 : Shaina Taub/Mark Sonnenblick
 作曲 : Elton John
You think fashion is shallow and vapid
A superficial path
I mean, your clothes, your hair
You don't care what you wear
You just wanna teach high school math
Or be a writer!
It doesn't matter what road you walk
Someone's gonna see your shoes
You can dress to connect, set the mood, show respect
Or you can of course refuse
Nigel, I didn't say that—
Hey!
You're whining like you're looking for advice
If you want mine
I'll tell you, miracles can happen when your soul and style combine
Bottom line?

You wanna go far?
Dress your way up
You wanna prove who you are?
Dress your way up
You wanna get your dues?
Dress your way up
Do it for you
Dress your way up

You can call it vanity
Well, I say it's taking pride
I say, dress your way up, up, up
And show us who you are inside

You're right
I know
Uh, Nigel, could you give me like, a mini-makeover?
A mini-makeover?! Honey, you're Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

You need Gucci, like you need air
Yes!
Plus a little Cartier
Woo, I like that!
Some Chloé suede
Here, this is handmade
Anything I say, obey
Okay
If you can't judge a book by its cover
No one's ever gonna read it
If you're so damn smart, then start looking the part
Lord knows, you're gonna need it
Get in there, it's urgent don't emerge until you look pristine
Get ready, there'll be buttons and braces
And zippers in places you've never seen
And if you need help, scream

You wanna get yours?
Dress your way up
You wanna open doors?
Dress your way up
Want an ego boost?
Dress your way up
You wanna get introduced?
Dress your way up

Then show them you are tailor-made
To get ahead of the pack
Oh, darling, dress your way up, up, up
And never, never, never look back

When Nigel's in charge
He'll make you perfection
Oh
You will lose your mind when you see your reflection
Your reflection, oh
He can flip a four into a ten
A ten
Turn your ugly cousin into Ken
Into Ken
If you get the chance, he'll change your life
With some Chanel
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah
Andy went and dressed her way up
She went and dressed her way up

You wanna go far?
Dress your way up
You wanna prove who you are?
Dress your way up
You wanna self-actualize?
Dress your way up
You want your star to rise?
Dress your way up
You wanna make your name?
Dress your way up
You wanna change the game?
Dress your way up
Wanna reach higher ground?
Dress your way up
You wanna be renowned?
Dress your way up

And show them you are tailor-made
To get ahead of the pack
Oh, oh, oh
Darling, dress your way up, up, up
Darling, dress your way up, up, up
Darling, dress your way up, up, up
And never, never, never
Never, never, never
Never, never, never look back!
