And in honor of "Wildcat," the Cy Coleman/Carolyn Leigh show, the wonderful lyrics to "Hey, Look Me Over," as performed by the one and only Lucille Ball--and by Judy Garland on her television series.
==
Hey look me over! Lend me an ear!
Fresh out of clover, mortgaged 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 rose bud,
High on the vine!
Don't thumb your nose folks--
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.
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 win the crowd,
If you can get up and yell:
Hey look me over! Lend me an ear!
Fresh out of clover, morgtaged 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, up, up
Like a rose bud on the vine!
Don't thumb your nose folks.
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,
Hear me shout, world,
Hey look out, world,
Here I come!
