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
