Lyrics

[Intro]
If they could see me now, that little gang of mine
I'm lookin' at your smile and it's a healthy sign
I'd like those stumble bums to see for a fact
The kind of top-drawer, first-rate chum I attract
[Verse 1]
All I can say is, "Wow," just look at where I am
Tonight I landed, pow, right in a pot of jam
[Chorus]
What a setup, holy cow
They'll never believe it
If my friends could see me now
[Verse 2]
If they could see me now, that little dusty group
Traipsin' around this million dollar chicken coop
I'm rubbin' elbows with the cream of the crop
Who ever said there ain't no room at the top?
[Verse 3]
To think this famous man, which I must say is he
Should pick an unknown gal, which there's no doubt is me
[Chorus]
What a setup, wow, holy cow
They'll never believe it
If my friends could see me
If my friends could see me
If they all could see me now
Take a look at me now
