JAMES DUNN:
Here am I, I'm laying all my cards upon the table
I'll be on the level just as long as I am able
Open up the goods and I will let you see the label
She's strictly on the up and up

LILIAN ROTH:
I got a lot, a lot o' what I got
And what I got's all mine
But I could spare a little share of what I got for you
Come up and see me sometime

You'll get a break 'cause I got give and take
I got a brand new line
And if you don't know what I mean, I'll explain it all to you
Come up and see me sometime

Come up tonight
I think the paper said the Moon'll be bright
They oughta have it in the columns and all, letters that tall
That you'll be falling for me

'Cause I am free and you appeal to me
How could it be a crime
If you don't get my number, my number's in the book
Come up and see me sometime
If you are able
Come up and see me sometime

I got a lot, a lot o' what I've got
And what I've got's all mine
But I could spare a little share of what I got for you
Come up and see me sometime

You'll get a break 'cause I got give and take
I got a brand new line
And maybe you would like me to explain it all to you
Come up and see me sometime
Answer maybe
Come up and see me sometime

As recorded by CLIFF 'UKULELE IKE' EDWARDS:

I believe that everyone in life should have a mission
Making people happy is the height 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
Huh-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

Alternate verse as recorded by CAROL LEIGH:

I'm always in, keep plenty o' gin
I'm ready rain or shine
I'll betcha you'll be in a diffrent mood before I'm through
Come up and see me sometime

Alternate verse as recorded by MAE WEST:

Here is the key, the room is 503
It's not so far to climb
You know thw spider's invitation to the fly
Come up and see me sometime
Anytime....the sooner the better....uummmm
