v.2

See me now my little dusty group

Traipsin’ round this million dollar chicken coop

I’d hear those thrift shop cats say “Brother get her

Draped on a bedspread made from three kinds of fur”

All I can say is Wow wait till the riff and raff

See just exactly how he signed this autograph

What a build up holy cow!

They’d never believe it if my friends could

See me now

v.3

See me now alone with Mister V who’s

Waitin’ on me like he was a maitre’d

I hear my buddies saying “Crazy what gives

Tonight she’s living like the other half lives”

To think the highest brow

Which I must say is he

Should pick the lowest brow

Which there’s no doubt is me

What a step up! holy cow!

They’d never believe it, if my friends

Could see me now

Yours Harmusman
