Turn out the light, yeah, the light
   And I might have a chance
   I guess I look slightly worse
   Than the Elephant Man
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
  
   I went to high school
   And majored in looking real bad
   I got a real ugly mom
   And a real ugly dad
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
  
   Dress for success
   That's what they say
   I'm such a mess
   That there just ain't no way
  
   I know my breath is the sweetest
   It really is great
   But when I try just to kiss you
   You say "better wait"
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
  
   Dress for success
   That's what they say
   Gimme some clothes
   To slap over my head
  
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
  
   I went to Balboa Island
   And laid in the sand
   I may be ugly as sin
   But at least now I'm tan
  
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
   Whoa, oh, oh, I wish I looked a little better
