Hey, Look Me Over - Johnny Preston

Hey look me over, lend me an ear

Fresh out of clover, mortgage 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 rosebud 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, so let me get me some

And look out world, here I come

Hey look me over, lend me an ear

Fresh out of clover, mortgage 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 rosebud 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, so 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 lead the crowd if you can get up and yell

Hey look me over, lend me an ear

Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here

I’m a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some

And look out world, here me shout world

And look out world, here I come
