hey look me over lyrics

Hey look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgaged 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 rose bud, high on the vine
Don't thumb your nose folks, 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

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 win the crowd if you can get up and yo yo

Hey look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgaged 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

Up like a rose bud high on the vine
Don't thumb your nose folks, 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, hear me shout world
Hey look out world, here I come
