Lyrics
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!
We're 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 a 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 so sober boarding up to here (We're folks here to lease a hill)
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)
But don't plug your nose bud (Give away)
Hey hey!
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
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!
