Dress Your Way Up

[NIGEL]

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]

I know

[ANDY, spoken]

Nigel, could you give me like, a mini makeover?

[NIGEL, spoken]

Plus a little cartier (Ooh, I like that!)

Anything I say? obey (Okay)

[NIGEL, ENSEMBLE, Both]

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

There'll be buttons and braces (Ooh)

And zippers in places you've never seen

And if you need help, scream!

You wanna get yours?

Dress your way up

You wanna open doors?

And never, never, never look back

[ENSEMBLE, NIGEL]

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)

Turn your ugly cousin into ken (into ken)

He could make a cocker spaniel

Look just like Giselle

If you get the chance

He'll change your life

With some Chanel
