    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.

Nelson was a best friend to ru and the only one vlogging back then in that style. One of the first selfie vloggers.

So many good memories, and this song was in the clubs for a good 2 years after. RuPaul can do anything and make it good. He's a born entertainer, and by all reports a really decent human being. Thank God for RuPaul Charles. :)

    I worked in a department store salon ,when this song came out,I remember one of the guys from visuals came into the salon with a flyer, when I looked at it,it was a picture of Ru,from the Supermodel cd,I remember being in awe of the hair,height and skin tone,this was the 1st time I had ever seen or heard about Rupaul. 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. Had a great time that night watching him perform, I have been a fan ever since❤

    I was 17 when I first saw this video.. It was in a public access channel back in 1992. I was mesmerized. I absolutely loved it. It gave me a lot of strength for the years to come.

    Rupaul is one of the only celebrities I follow and respect. I love his work ethic, respect for people and his desire and drive to help others achieve their dreams. Truly a commendable person.
