Hats and gloves and shoes
Always had their use
Make 'em turn their heads
In jealousy
She always told the truth
Though others found her rude
Her suede was never fake
Her words, sincere
She said, "I'd rather be the best dressed
Than the most loved.
I'd rather be the best dressed
Than the most loved."
Her best accessory
Was a head held high in tweed
Jackie Onassis could take classes
A studded evening gown
Suit in basic brown
The racks at Sacks
Were all the love she'd need
Wish I had the time to know you better
She'd say, "I'd rather be the best dressed
Than the most loved.
I'd rather be the best dressed
Than the most loved."
When she showed up at church
They'd worship her fur coat
But clothes can't keep out cold now
Anymore
Hats and gloves and shoes
Always had their use
Hats and gloves
...and shoes
For where I'm going now
I don't need them anyhow
Just be sure that I'm dressed well
When I go out
When I go out
Because I'd rather be the best dressed
Than the most loved
I'd rather be the best dressed
Than the most loved
