HEY LOOK ME OVER - PLAYER PIANO MUSIC

QRS WORD ROLL - 9783
From "Wildcat"....played by Sid Laney
Written by Cy Coleman
Cy Coleman (born Seymour Kaufman; June 14, 1929 - November 18, 2004) was an American composer, songwriter, and jazz pianist.
Coleman was born Seymour Kaufman on June 14, 1929, in New York City to Eastern European Jewish parents, and was raised in the
Bronx. His mother, Ida was an apartment landlady and his father was a brickmason. He was a child prodigy who gave piano
recitals at Steinway Hall, Town Hall, and Carnegie Hall between the ages of six and nine. Before beginning his fabled Broadway
career, he led the Cy Coleman Trio, which made many recordings and was a much-in-demand club attraction.
Despite the early classical and jazz success, Coleman decided to build a career in popular music. His first collaborator was
Joseph Allen McCarthy, but his most successful early partnership, but a very turbulent one, was with Carolyn Leigh. The pair
wrote many pop hits, including "Witchcraft" and "The Best Is Yet to Come." One of his instrumentals, "Playboy's Theme," became
the signature music of the regular TV shows and specials presented by Playboy, and remains synonymous with the magazine and
its creator, Hugh Hefner.
Coleman's career as a Broadway composer began when he and Leigh collaborated on Wildcat (1960), which marked the Broadway
debut of comedian Lucille Ball. The score included the hit tune "Hey, Look Me Over."

Hey look me over, lend me an ear
Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here
Don't pass the plate folks, don't pass the cup
I figure whenever you're down and out, the only way is up
And I'll be up like a rosebud high on the vine
Don't thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine
I'm a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some
And look out world, here I come
