  • 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

    It don't matter what you wear
    It doesn't matter what you wear
    They're checking out your savoir faire (ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah)
    And it don't matter what you do
    'Cause everything looks good on you

    I see your picture everywhere

    A million dollar derriere
    And when you walked into the room
    You had everybody's eyes on you, supermodel

    Naomi (she is fierce)
    Christy (foxy lady, out of sight)

    Shantay, shantay, shantay, shantay, shantay, woo
