Cy Coleman - If My Friends Could See Me Now lyrics

If they could see me now That little gang of mine I'm eating fancy chow And drinking fancy wine I'd like those stumblebums To see for a fact The kind of top-drawer, first-rate chums I attract All I can say is "Wow,"' Hey, look at where I am Tonight I landed, pow! Right in a pot of jam What a setup! Holy cow! They'd never believe it If my friends could see me now (dance break) If they could see me now My little dusty group Traipsing around this Million-dollar chicken coop I'd hear those thrift-shop cats Say "Brother, get her! Laid on a bed spread made from Three kinds of fur!" All I can say is "Wow" Wait till the riff and raff See just exactly how He'd sign his autograph What a build-up! Holy cow! They'd never believe it If my friends could see me now If they could see me now Alone with Mister V Who's waiting on me Like he was a maitre d' I'd hear my buddies sayin' "Crazy what gives? Tonight she's livin' 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 They'd never believe it If my friends could see me now (spoken) Hi girls! Look, it's me, Charity!
