If my friends could see me now

(Dorothy Fields/Cy Coleman)

If they could see me now, that little gang of mine,

I'm eating fancy chow and drinking fancy wine.

I'd like those stumble bums to see for a fact

The kind of top - drawer, first - rate chums I attract.

All I can say is, "Wow - ee! Look - a where I am.

Tonight I landed, pow! right in a pot of jam."

What a set up! Ho - ly cow!

They'd never be - lieve it,

If My Friends Could See Me Now!

If they could see me now, alone with Mister V.,

Who's waitin' on me like he was a maitre d'.

I hear my bud - dies say - ing:

"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! Ho - ly cow!

They'd never be - lieve it,

If My Friends Could See Me Now!

Orchestra

They'd never believe it,

They'd never believe it,

They'd never believe it,

If My Friends Could See Me Now!
