Hey look me over lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover mortgage up to here
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 rosebud high on the vine
Don’t thumb your nose but take a tip from mine
I’m a little bit short of the elbow
room so let me get me some
And look out world here I come
Nobody in the world was ever without a prayer
How can you win the world
if nobody knows you’re there
Kid when you need the crowd
the tickets are hard to sell
Still you can lead the crowd
if you can get up and yell
Hey look me over lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover mortgage up to here
I’m a little bit short of the elbow
room so let me get me some
And look out world here me shout world
And look out world here I come
