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
 When 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
 Everybody better spread out
 When I head out I'll need lots of space
 Nothing more will ever throw me
 'Cause you know me by my laughing face
 From trouble I'm gonna stay aloof
 And just in case you need more proof
 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
 When 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
 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 on the elbow room
 So let me get me some
 And look out world, here I come
 Look out world, here I come
