Lyrics

[00:08.65] If they could see me now,
[00:10.74] That little gang of mine,
[00:13.64] I'm eating fancy chow
[00:15.10] And drinking fancy wine.
[00:17.39] I'd like those stumble bums to see for a fact
[00:21.76] The kind of top drawer, first rate chums I attract.
[00:26.10] All I can say is "Wow-ee!
[00:28.55] Looka where I am.
[00:30.55] Tonight I landed, pow!
[00:32.49] Right in a pot of jam.
[00:34.78] What a set up! Holy cow!
[00:38.02] They'd never believe it,
[00:39.41] If my friends could see me now!
[00:42.35]
[00:43.70] Tonight at eight, you shoulda seen
[00:48.20] A chauffeur pull up in a rented limousine
[00:52.29] My neighbors burned, they like to die
[00:56.73] When I tell them who is gettin' in and goin' out is I
[01:01.13] If they could see me now, that little gang of mine
[01:05.78] I'm eating fancy chow and drinking fancy wine
[01:09.47] I'd like those stumble bums to see for a fact
[01:13.86] The kind of top drawer, first rate chums I attract
[01:18.15] All I can say is, "Wow-ee", looka where I am
[01:22.40] Tonight, I landed, pow, right in a pot of jam
[01:26.89] What a set up, holy cow, they'd never believe it
[01:34.88]
[01:43.37] If they could see me now,
[01:51.94] That little gang of mine,
[01:55.45] I'm eating fancy chow
[01:57.70] And drinking fancy wine.
[02:00.39] I'd like those stumble bums to see for a fact
[02:05.53] The kind of top drawer, first rate chums I attract.
[02:10.26] All I can say is, "Wow!
[02:12.89] Looka where I am.
[02:14.55] Tonight I landed, pow!
[02:16.81] Right in a pot of jam.
[02:19.15] What a set up! Holy cow!
[02:22.25] They'd never believe it,
[02:23.84] If my friends could see me now!
