lyrics

Hey look me over, lend me an ear,
Fresh out of clover, mortgaged up to here
But don't pass the plate folks, don't pass the cup
I figure whenever you're down and out
The only way is up

And I'll be up like a rose bud, high on the vine
Don't thumb your nose bud, take a tip from mine
I'm a little bit short of the elbow room
But let me get me some
And look out world, here I come

Everybody better spread out
When I head out I'll need lots of space
Nothing more will ever throw me
'Cause you'll know me by my laughing face

From trouble I'm gonna stay aloof
And just in case you need more proof

Hey look me over . . .
