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
