Hey Now, Hey Now

From Are You Hep to the Jive?, Cab Calloway

I was walking up the street acting big and bold
But deep down in my pockets I had no gold
was looking kind of sad when before my eyes
was a million dollar bill that must of fell out the skies

I said Hey Now, Hey Now
Hey Now, Hey Now

I took this million dollars and looked for more
got half way up the block and I took it real real slow
and much to me surprise I was knocked right out
when I met a little chick who knew what life was all about

I said Hey Now, Hey Now
Hey Now, Hey Now

Hey Now, Hey Now
Hey Now, Hey Now

I've got the things I want plus a great big car
and everyday I'm getting more popular
So use these magic words that can see you through
when you ain't got no gold and you don't know what to do

Say Hey Now, Hey Now
Hey Now, Hey Now
