You Gotta 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..
Verse 1
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.
Verse 2
And I'll Be Up Like A Rose Bud,
High On The Vine.
Don't Thumb Your Nose, Bud,
Take A Tip From Mine.
Pre-Chorus
A Little Bit Short Of The Elbow Room
But Let Me Get Me Some
Chorus
And Look Out World
Here I Come

Verse 3
Hey Look Me Over,
Lend Me An Ear (And Lookie Lookie Here)
Fresh Out Of Clover, (Here Folks, Dear Folks)
Mortgage Up To Here. (We're Folks Here To Lease A Hill)
But Don't Pass The Plate Folks, (Or In A Pinch)
Don't Pass The Cup (We'll Take An Acre)
I Figure Whenever You're Down And Out (We'll Take A Inch)
The Only Way Is Up (And Make You Pay)
Verse 4
And I'll Be Up Like A Rose Bud, (So What Do You Say?)
High On The Vine (We Give The Wildcat)
Don't Thumb Your Nose, Bud, (Hip Hip Hooray)
Hey Hey Hey!
A Little Bit Short Of The Elbow Room
But Let Us Get Us Some
If All That It Take's Is A Little Hot Air
To Fill The Vac-U-Um
Verse 5
Then We'll Be Up Like A Rose Bud,
High On The Vine.
Don't Thumb Your Nose, Bud,
Take A Tip From Mine.
A Little Bit Short Of The Elbow Room
But Let Us Get Us Some
And Look Out World
Hear Me Shout World!
Hey Look Out....(Boom!)
[Interlude] (Spoken)
Jane: Hey! What Happened?
Wildy: Gosh, Janey, The Darn Thing Heard Us!
You See? All You Gotta Do Is Make A Noise!

And Look Out, World
Here, We, Come!
