Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If they could see me now
That old gang of mine
I'm eating fancy chow
And drinking fancy wine
[Verse 2]
I'd like those stumble bums
To see for a fact
The kind of top drawer
First rate chums I attract
[Verse 3]
All I can say is, wow
Hey, look at where I am
I've landed, pow
Right in a pot of jam
What a setup, holy cow
(They'd never believe it)
[Verse 4]
If my friends could see me
(If they could see me)
Said if my friends could see me
(If they could see me)
Oh, if my friends could see me
If they could see me now
[Verse 5]
If they could see me now
My little dusty prince
Chasing around
This million dollar chick
I'd hear those real hip cats
Say, brother, get her
Draped on a bedspread
Made of three kinds of fur
[Verse 6]
To think the highest brow
Which I must say is me
Should pick the lowest brow
Which there's no doubt is he
[Verse 7]
What a step down, holy cow
(They'd never believe it)
If my friends could see me
(If they could see me)
If all my friends could see me
(If they could see me)
Said if my friends could see me
If they could see me now
[Verse 8]
I'll rejoice with all my friends
I said rejoice with all my friends
[Verse 9]
If they could see me
If they could see me
If they could see me
If all my friends could see me
[Verse 10]
If they could see me now
That old gang of mine
Eating fancy chow
And drinking fancy wine
If all my friends could see me now
See me in this set up, holy cow
[Verse 11]
If they could see me now
That old gang of mine
Eating fancy chow
And drinking fancy wine
I'm like oh, stop a bombs
To see more of that
The kind of top-drawer
First rate joys I attack
[Verse 12]
All I can say is, wow
Hey, look at where I am
Tonight I think
I'm right in a pot of jam
What a set up, holy cow
(They'd never believe it)
[Verse 13]
If my friends could see me
(If they could see me)
Said, if my friends could see me
(If they could see me)
Oh, if my friends could see me
If they could see me now
[Verse 14]
Hey, if they could see me now
Hey, if they could see me
Hope all my friends could see me
Hope all my friends could see me
[Verse 15]
If they could see me
If they could see me
If they could see me
If they could see me
Oh
[Verse 16]
If they could see me
If they could see me
If they could see me
If they could see me
Oh
[Verse 17]
If they could see me
If they could see me
If they could see me
If they could see me
