Lucille Ball Lyrics
"Hey, Look Me Over!"

(From the 1961 Broadway play "Wildcat")

(Performed with Paula Stewart)

But you gotta beat the drum Janie.
You got to tell them Here we come! Pow! Pow!
You gotta say stand up and listen.
You gotta say it's us! Were here!

You gotta say hey look me over.
Lend me an ear. Fresh out of clover.
Mortgage up to here.
But don't pass the brake folks
Don't pass the cup.
I'd 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 plug your nose bud.
Take your tip for mine.
A little bit shorter than elbow room
But Let me get me some
And look out world here I come.

Come on Janie
Oh Wildie they'll laugh at us.
Not if we sing loud enough come on!

Follow along she says
And paint them a rosy view
Then tell them a story
Sing them a song she says
And Sing them a song we do
We're hitting the road
Loud as a Shanta Clare
But jittery as hen
The road to glory
Running a whoops my dear
but here we go again. Yeah!

Hey look me over. Lend me an ear.
And lookie lookie here folks Dear folks,
We're folks here to lease a hill.
Were so sober boarding up to here
Don't Pass the plate. or in a pinch.
Don't Pass the cup. We'll take an acre.
Whenever you're down and out.
We'll take a inch. The only way is up
And make you pay. And I'll be like a rose
So what do you say? Right on the vine.
We give the Wildcat away hey hey!
But don't plug your nose bud
A little bit shorter than elbow room
But let's begin a sum.
If all that it take's is a little hot air
to fill the vacuum um.

Then we'll be up like a rosebud
High on the vine.
Don't plug your nose bud.
Take your tip for mine.
A little bit shorter than elbow room
But Let me us get a sum.

And look out world! Here we shout world!
Hey look out world! Here we come!
