    Lyrics:
    [Spoken intro - LaWanda Page, RuPaul]
    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.
    [Chorus - RuPaul]
    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
    [Hook - RuPaul]
    Work
    Turn to the left
    Work
    Now turn to the right
    Work
    Sashay, shante
    [Verse 1 - RuPaul]
    It don't matter what you wear
    They're checking out your savior faire
    And it don't matter what you do
    Cause everything looks good on you
    Supermodel
    [Chorus - RuPaul]
    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
    [Hook - RuPaul]
    Work
    Turn to the left
    Work
    Now turn to the right
    Work
    Sashay, shante
    [Verse 2 - RuPaul]
    I see your picture everywhere
    A million dollar derriere
    And when you walked in to the room
    You had everybody's eyes on you, supermodel
    [Hook - RuPaul]
    Work
    Turn to the left
    Work
    Now turn to the right
    Work
    Sashay, shante
    Work
    Turn to the left
    Work
    Now turn to the right
    Work
    Sashay, shante
    [Outro - RuPaul]
    You better work
    Work
    Work
    (Supermodel)
    You better work
    Work
    Work
    Work
    I have one thing to say:
    You better work

    The kids dont know what Prime RuPaul was capable of...
    She is THE Drag Supermodel that broke the mainstream glass ceiling. The Lingo, the Attitude, the Height...just out there in full daylight talking to people - black, 7 ft tall, no care in the world.
    All the challenges on Drag Race represent parts of her career. Design: Making her own stuff in her Punk-Beginnings. Rumix: Releasing Music. Improv: Having a talkshow. Acting: Being in movies and tv shows. Advertising: Building her brand and selling merch. Girl Groups: Her Punk Band in the 80s. Comedy: Creating memorable catchphrases and hosting. Even if she is not that involved anymore, the challenges gives the contestants the tools to do it all.

    I need the children need to know that although it may not look like that much NOW, drag at the time was for the most part really dated, stuck in the 1970s-1980s with tacky sequin gowns, bad wigs and costume jewelry, miming to ballads. Rupaul was tall, thin, and beautiful. This was modern glamour, and the very first time we saw lacefront wigs and high fashion. He actually looked like a supermodel and it was revolutionary. Thank you for coming to my drag evolution TED talk

Nelson was a best friend to ru and the only one vlogging back then in that style. One of the first selfie vloggers. Anyway there's a lot of videos of Ru back stage before a lot of first performances as well gay prides to anything. Before the digital Era started to take effect.

So since putting this song on the other night I've put it on every time I do my make up now, kinda helped pull me out of a frumpy mom slump. Also should be mentioned that I made the original comment above under my husband Hectors account, didn't realize until after I commented that his RUclips was logged in on my phone 🤣was too lazy to delete, search for the song and rewrite under my account. But yeah. I've been in such a slump in the last year and finally realized that I hadn't done anything for myself in over a decade. Been messy bun mom in sweatpants, no make up, no nothing ... Just mom. So I started watching drag race, bought some make up, some clothes to show off my curves and have been playing this song as my contour routine almost every day since! I always had my hair, nails and makeup done... Then I had 3 kids and lost myself for a solid 15 years. My oldest is 16 and youngest is 3. I needed the old me back..Ru helped me get there

My coworker looked at the flyer ,and I could tell she was conflicted. Anyway later that night,I went to the club to see who this Rupaul was,tiny club in Philly on the floor .Was still outside about to enter,when all of a sudden I see this tall tall human being in a to the sky blonde wig and a short Black patent leather trench coat walking towards the club,it was Ru,and I was mesmerized.
