Long as you're lookin' good You can win the admiration Of the current population You can be star Long as you're lookin' good You have made the main connection You can win the next election Don't care who you are Just leave them mesmerized Give their eyes a picture to play with And you will be so surprised At how much you can get away with Long as you're lookin' good Let that be your main credential You'll get treatment preferential It's a rule that's still essentially iron-clad Remember you can' look bad Long as you're lookin' good You can tell the world to shove it Show 'em crap and make 'em love it Uh, you can run their life Long as you're lookin' good They'll believe you walk on water Even trust you with their daughter Sometimes with their wife Don't have to know a thing Just look like you're a sensation Don't have to dance or sing To get that standing ovation Long as you're lookin' good You can show up late for dinner Play the saint or play the sinner A blag, a crank, a rank beginner or just a cad Remember you can't look bad Long as you're looking good Long as you're sounding good
