Work Of Art Lyrics – Holly Johnson & Richard E. Grant

Work Of Art Text

---

[MISS HEDGE]
You belong in the spotlight
On the wall of the Tate
In a 10 megawatt light
'Cause your brushwork's so great

You're the next phase in feminine
You're a Lichtenstein dot
You're a bed with Tracy Emin in
You're Grayson Perry's next pot

Work of art, work of art
You're a perfect work of art
Mona Lisa
This is she, sir
With a smile to melt your heart

Work of art, work of art
You're a perfect work of art
Like Picasso
So kick ass, oh
I just don't know where to start
Work of art

Work of art

[MISS HEDGE (DEAN)]
You're Yoko Ono on vinyl (Oh you just raised the bar)
You're a canvas that's blank (Watch your value increase)
You're a Duchamp urinal (See how precious you are)
You're half a dead cow in a tank (You're the school masterpiece)

[ALL]
Work of art, work of art
You're a perfect work of art
Mona Lisa
This is she, sir
With a smile to melt your heart

Work of art, work of art
You're a perfect work of art
Like Picasso
So kick ass, oh
I just don't know where to start
Work of art

[MISS HEDGE, spoken]
I tried to teach you a lesson, Jamie
I told you all your best chance at life was to keep things real
But there's always one who thinks I don't mean them
And surprise, surprise Jamie New, it's you!
The work of art
But a work of art is nothing if it's not put on show, Jamie

[DEAN, spoken]
Come on, then
Put on a show!

[MISS HEDGE, spoken]
The glamour!
The light!

[DEAN, spoken]
The center of attention!

[MISS HEDGE, spoken]
This is it, Jamie
I hope it's everything you ever wanted

[JAMIE, spoken]
This is everything I ever wanted
My stage, my audience, my dancers
All eyes on me

You wanna look? Keep looking
I'll be in drag tonight at Legs 11
So come along if you dare

[DEAN, spoken]
You're just a boy in a dress!

[JAMIE, spoken]
Oh, Dean
A boy in a dress is something to be laughed at
But a drag queen is something to be feared
And I am a drag queen!

[STUDENTS]
Yes you are, yes you are, yes you are, oh
You're the biz, you're the biz, you're the biz, yeah
Superstar, superstar, superstar, oh
You're the shiz, you're the shiz, the shiz yeah

You're so neat, you're so neat, you're so neat, yo
Off the chart, off the chart, the chart, yeah
Super sweet, super sweet, super sweet oh
Work of art, work of art, work of art yeah
Work of art, work of art, work of art yeah

Work of art, work of art

[JAMIE, sung]
Yes I am your work of art
You won't shame me
You should frame me
I'm a Jamie work of art

[STUDENTS]
Work of art, work of art

[JAMIE]
Gonna blow your world apart
I'm offending, I'm a trending, gender-bending
Gender-blending, gender-pending
Gender-ending and transcending
Work of art
