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
