I believe that everyone in life
should have a mission,
Making people happy is the heighth
of my ambition;
When I get them happy, well, they
stay in that condition;
I have a system all my own.
I've got a lot, a lot of what I've
got,
And what I've got's all mine,
And I assure you, I can cure you,
if you're feeling blue;
Come up and see me sometime.
I've got a flat where you can hang
your hat,
And I've got a brand-new line,
And maybe you would like me to
explain it all to you;
Come up and see me sometime.
Come up tonight;
I think the paper said the moon
will be bright;
They should have had it in the
columns and all,
Letters that tall,
That you'd be falling for me.
'Cause I am free, and you appeal
to me,
But how could it be a crime?
If you don't get my number, well,
my number's in the book;
Come up and see me sometime.
Spoken: Aw, come up and see me sometime, will you, huh? Aw, aw, you can come up and see me sometime, too, aw, and bring your music with you.
Come up tonight;
I think the paper said the moon
would be bright;
They should have had it in the
columns and all,
With letters that tall,
Uh, huh, that you'd be falling
for me.
'Cause I am free, and you appeal
to me,
Tell me, how could it be a crime?
If you don't get my number, well,
my number's in the book,
Come up and see me sometime, hmmm,
if you can take it,
Come up and see me sometime, will
you, toots? Hmmm?
