(Intro - Lawanda Page & Rupaul)
Once upon a time, there was a little black girl
in the Brewster Projects of Detroit, Michigan
At fifteen, she was spotted
by an Ebony Fashion Fair talent scout
and her modeling career took off

You better work!

You better work
(Cover girl)
Work it, girl
(Give a twirl)
Do your thing on the runway
Work
(Supermodel)
You better work it, girl
(Of the world)
Wet your lips and make love to the camera

Work
Turn to the left
Work
Now turn to the right
Work
Sashay, shante

It don't matter what you wear
They're checking out your savior faire
And it don't matter what you do
Cause everything looks good on you
Supermodel

You better work

Sashay, shante

I see your picture everywhere
A million dollar derriere
And when you walked in to the room
You had everybody's eyes on you, supermodel

Linda (work, mama)
Naomi (she is fierce)
Christy (foxy lady, out of sight)
Cindy (I can feel it)
Claudia (sell the garment)
Niki (work the runway, sweetie)

I have one thing to say, sashay, shante
Shante, shante, shante
I have one thing to say, sashay shante
Shante, shante, shante

It don't matter what you wear
They're checking out your savior faire
And it don't matter what you do
Cause everything looks good on you
