Perfect Isn't Easy

Bette Midler Bette Midler

(yawn, gasp)

Girl, we've got work to do.
Pass me the paint and glue
Perfect isn't easy . . .
But . . . it's . . . me

When one knows the world is watching,
One does what one must
Some minor adjustments, darling --
Not for my vanity,
But for humanity.

Each little step a pose
See how the breeding shows (grunt)
Sometimes it's too much for even me!
When all of the world says yes,
Then who am I to say no?
Don't ask a mutt to strut like a showgirl,
No, girl, you need a pro!

Not a flea or a flaw
Take a peek at that paw
La dada dee dee da
Perfection becomes me, n'est ce pas?

Unrivaled! Unruffled!
I'm beauty unleashed! (yeah)
Jaws drop, hearts stop
So classic and classy
We're not talkin' Lassie!

Laaaaa, aaaah, oooo, arooo
ruff, ruff ruff ruff ruff, ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff ruff arrroowl

Though many covet my bone and bowl,
They're barkin' up the wrong tree
You pretty pups all over the city,
I have your hearts and you have my pity
Pretty is nice, but still, it's just pretty
Perfect, my dear,
Is me . . .

(grunt!)
