Hey fellas look over there

See that woman over there

With her long pretty hair

Don't she look good (yeah)

Don't she look good (yeah)

And see that woman that just drove right in

With her hair blowing in the wind

Didn't she look good (yeah)

Didn't she look good (yeah)

See that woman going to church

All dressed up in her mini skirt, woo!

She looks good (yeah)

Don't she look good (yeah)

And see that woman eating her lunch

She's got skin you'd love to touch

Don't she look good (yeah)

Don't she look good (yeah)

Listen, you better keep the woman you got

I know the other one looks good to ya

But she might not be as good as she looks

Ain't it the truth, brother (yeah)

It's the truth

Girls listen, let me show you something

See that man dressed in his Nehru

He's got pockets of money to give you

Don't he look good (yeah)

Don't he look good (yeah)

And see that man across the street

With those alligator shoes on his feet

Oh the man's looking good (yeah)

He looks good (yeah)

And see that man over to your right

He throws big parties every night

The man is good (yeah)

Don't he look good (yeah)

And check that man over to your left

Huh, all the women say he's kinda stuck on hisself

Oh the man knows he's lookin' good (yeah)

He's lookin' good (yeah)

But you better keep the same man you got

I know the other one looks good to ya

But he might not be as good as he looks

Ain't it the truth, girl (yeah)

It's the truth
