[Jack, spoken]
Alright, let's work. Time is money

[sung]
They say a day has twenty-four hours
But that's a bluff
A day has twelve dresses
Twelve of these dresses
Until we make twelve, it ain't enough
So we each got a job we gotta do
I'll go through it once, just once
For those here who are new...

So, first is the baster
Now, Bella, that's you
Stitch one piece wrong, it's a wreck
Assemble the garment
Remembering you are meant
To make sure the sleeve ain't the neck

[Bella]
The baster...

[Jack]
And then comes the stitcher
Who works the machine
