Hey, Look Me Over Songtext
von Kermit Ruffins

Hey, look me over
Lend me an ear
Mortgaged 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
And I'll up like a rose bud
High on the vine
Don't thumb your nose, bud,
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.


Hey, look me over
Lend me an ear
Mortgaged 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
And I'll up like a rose bud
High on the vine
Don′t thumb your nose, bud,
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.
