What are the lyrics to Look Around in Will Rogers Follies?

(Will Rogers)

If you see shadows hanging 'round

Look around

That's the shadows of the men who've made history

Hanging 'round

You can see 'em in the White House or Times Square

Looking down

And while they're talking to the people there

Look around

And see what people everywhere

Are doing now

(Chorus)

Look around

Don't stand still or your brain's gonna rot

Look around

Take a look at the life that you've got

What's the use in being proud and having plenty

If you don't open up your eyes to see you're empty?

Look around

(Will Rogers)

Look and see what's happening out in the world

Look around

In the movies there are shadows there of girls

They're stars they're shadows on a movie screen

You see them in the light from the silver screen

Look around

It's your chance to see what you can see

And that's the story of the world of today

(Chorus)

Look around

Don't stand still or your brain's gonna rot

Look around

Take a look at the life that you've got

What's the use in being proud, and having plenty

If you don't open up your eyes to see you're empty?

Look around

(Will Rogers)

Look around and you'll see there are shadows of kids

Look around

They're in school looking for a little wisdom

They see it, some wisdom

But what's the reason for this reading and writing

If they're to grow up like their mothers

And their fathers in the shadows that they're fighting

Look around

(Chorus)

Look around

Don't stand still or your brain's gonna rot

Look around

Take a look at the life that you've got

What's the use in being proud, and having plenty

If you don't open up your eyes to see you're empty?

Look around
