Call Me



Call me when you're happy.
Let me share the cheer.
Call me when you're sappy. Let me help you veer.

Call me when you're witty.
Let me share the droll.
Call me when you're gritty. Let me help you thole.

Call me when you're lucky.
Let me share the pot.
Call me when you're yucky. Let me help you plot.

Call me when you're perky.
Let me share the verve.
Call me when you're murky. Let me help you swerve.

Call me when you're bloomy.
Let me share the prize.
Call me when you're gloomy. Let me help you rise.

Call me when you're needy.
Let me share the pain.
Call me when you're seedy. Let me help you gain.
