Patti LuPone feat. War Paint Original Broadway Ensemble -
War Paint (Original Broadway Cast Recording)
Back on Top
It's so wonderful to be back in Manhattan!
The daily press is here to meet my boat
There simply are no words, and you may quote
America, your wait is through!
At this, my new New York debut
I cannot wait to reinstate my shop
Back on top!
Why it's wicked,
You opening up your new salon right down the street from Elizab-
WE DON'T SPEAK-A THAT NAME!
That name is verboten.
The 'American Beauty Rose'?
You know what every garden needs, Harry? A little wandering Jew.
The sad fact is that Europe's gone insane
To add to this, I have such family strain
My sons don't call, my husband cheats
Now they can pay their own receipts
I'm back on top!
Up high
In Bauhaus lettering am I
So modern you could die!
The stainless steel, the chic decor
Black terrazzo on the floor
Top to bottom glamour I supply
Right?
The lucky thing before the Wall Street crash
My intuition told me, 'take the cash!'
Then I sold out, made a mint
But I like more my name in print
Right back on top!
The skin
I chart from hairline down to chin
Find out which group you're in:
The normal, dry, or oily zone
Flaky, dry, or blemish-prone
Beauty, science
Like it's never been!
The face of progress overtakes the past
The constant change of life comes fierce and fast
And speaking of your change of life:
Your men won't seek a younger wife
With epidermal firming créme
Your timeless youth will dazzle them
A month from now they'll stand in line
And dammit!
You'll see Rubinstein is back on
I'm back on top!
Right?
The daily press is here to meet my boat
There simply are no words, and you may quote
America, your wait is through!
At this, my new New York debut
I cannot wait to reinstate my shop
Back on top!
