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, uh!


Sometimes it's too much


For even me!





But when all the world says, "Yes" 


Then who am I to say "No"?


Don't ask a mutt to strut like a show girl


No, girl, you need a pro





Not a flea or a flaw


Take a peek at that paw


La dee da 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 talking Lassie





And ahh! Ahh! Ooh!


Ow! Ow! Ow! Ruff ruff ruff! Ow!





Though many covet my bone and bowl


They're barking 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 dears 


Is me!

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
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, da-da, 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
La, ah, ooh, aroo
Ruff, ruff ruff ruff ruff

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

I'm literally this dog in every way

[disneyknightspadilla]

Unlike the last song that sounds kind of funky this music sounds more jazz. Like Georgette is in the ink club with Jessica rabbit.

[disneyknightspadilla]

I saw a picture of ratigan on her photos.

[futuremovieactor]

If a remake is done, gotta get Dove Cameron or Ashley Tisdale as Georgette.

[randomcommenter]

No wonder why Tito is always turned on by Georgette.

This song specifically, I hear was co composed by Barry Manilow.
