Hey, Look Me Over Songtext
von Louis Armstrong

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
I figure whenever you′re down and out
The only way is up


And I'll be up like a rose bud
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
But let me get me some
And look out world
Here I come

Yes, 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
I figure whenever you′re down and out
The only way is up


And I'll be up like a rose bud
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
But let me get me some
And look out, world
Here, I, come...
