You think fashion is shallow and vapid
A superficial path
I mean, your clothes, your hair
You don't care what you wear
You just wanna teach high school math
[ANDY, spoken]
Or be a writer
[NIGEL]
It doesn't matter what role you walk
Someone's gonna see your shoes
You can dress to connect
Set the mood, show respect
Or you can of course, refuse
[ANDY, spoken]
Nigel, I didn't say that
[NIGEL]
Hey! you're whining like you're looking for advice
If you want mine? I'll tell you
Miracles can happen when your soul and spirit combine
Bottom line?
[NIGEL]
You wanna go far?
Dress your way up
You wanna prove who you are?
Dress your way up
You wanna get you dues?
Drеss your way up
Do it for you
Dress your way up
[NIGEL]
You can call it vanity
Well, I say it's taking pride
I say drеss your way up, up, up
And show us who you are inside
[ANDY, spoken]
You're right...
[NIGEL, spoken]

If you can't judge a book by its cover
No one's ever gonna read it
If you're so damn smart
Then start looking the part
Lord knows you're gonna need it
Get in there, it's urgent (Ooh)
Don't emerge until you look pristine
Get ready

And if you need help, scream!

When nigel's in charge
He'll make you perfection (Oh)
You will lose your mind
When you see your reflection (Your reflection, oh)
He can flip a four into a 10 (a ten)
