| Lyrics: | (C. Coleman, C. Leigh)
[Recorded October 3, 1964, Los Angeles]
(Pass me by, pass me by,
if you don't happen to like it, pass me by)
I got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the
sand,
Lots of idle fingers snap to my command,
A loverly pair of heels that kick to beat the
band,
Contemplating nature can be fascinating,
Add to these a nose that I can thumb, and a
mouth by gum have I
So tell the whole wide world, if you don't happen to like it,
Deal me
out, thank you kindly, pass me by.

[musical interlude]
(I got me ten fine toes to wiggle in the
sand,)
(Lots of idle fingers snap to my command,)
(A loverly pair of heels that kick to beat
the band,)
(Contemplating nature can be fascinating)
(Add to these a nose that I can thumb,
and a mouth by gum have I)
(So tell the whole wide world, if you don't happen to like
it,)
(Deal me out, thank you kindly, pass me by.)
(Pass me by, pass me by, if you don't
happen to like it, pass me by.)
Behold me two great shoes that never saw a shine,
Houses I
could hold up with a laundry line.
A loverly patch that hide an awful lot of
spine.
Shirtails flying, I'm a blooming dandelion.
Add to these, a grin from ear to ear, all
the proper gear have I,
So tell the whole wide world, if you don't like the thought of
it,
Bail me out, thank you kindly, pass me by.
to like it, pass me by.>
