Interlude:
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 lead the crowd if you can get up and yell.

 

Chorus:
Hey look me over, lend me an ear, Fresh out of clover, mortgage 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 rosebud high on the vine, Don't thumb your nose, bud, take a tip from mine.
I'm a little bit short of the elbow room so let me get me some, And look out world, here I come.
