Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hey, look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgage 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
[Verse 2]
And I'll be up like a rose bud, 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, but let me get me some
And look out, world, here I come
[Verse 3]
Hey, look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgage 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
[Verse 4]
And I'll be up like a rose bud, 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, but let me get me some
And look out, world, here I come
