Sweet Charity movie - If My Friends Could See Me Now lyrics

rate me

Song by Gwen Verdon<br /><br>

Charity:<br>

Tonight at eight you shoulda seen<br>

A chauffeur pull up in a rented limousine!<br>

My neighbors burned! They like to die!<br>

When I tell them who is gettin' in and goin' out is I! <br>

If they could see me now,<br>

That little gang of mine,<br>

I'm eating fancy chow<br>

And drinking fancy wine.<br>

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

The kind of top drawer, first rate chums I attract.<br>

All I can say is "Wow-ee!<br>

Looka where I am.<br>

Tonight I landed, pow!<br>

Right in a pot of jam.<br>

What a set up! Holy cow!<br>

They'd never believe it,<br>

If my friends could see me now!<br>

If they could see me now,<br>

My little dusty group,<br>

Traipsin' 'round this million dollar chicken coop.<br>

I'd hear those thrift shop cats say: <br>

"Brother, get her!<br>

Draped on a bed spread made from three kinds of fur." <br>

All I can say is, "Wow!<br>

Wait till the riff an' raff<br>

See just exactly how<br>

He sign this autograph." <br>

What a build up! Holy cow!<br>

They'd never believe it,<br>

If my friends could see me now!<br>

If they could see me now<br>

Alone with Mister V.,<br>

Who's waiting on me like he was a maître d'<br>

I'd hear my buddies saying: <br>

"Crazy, what gives?<br>

Tonight she's living like <br>

The other half lives!"<br>

To think the highest brow,<br>

Which I must say is he,<br>

Should pick the lowest brow,<br>

Which there's no doubt is me!<br>

What a step up! Holy cow!<br>

They'd never believe it,<br>

If my friends could see me now!<br>

What a step up! Holy cow!<br>

They'd never believe it...<br>

They'd never believe it,<br>

If my friends could see me now <br>

Hi, girls it's me, Charity!<br>
