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!
