[Announcer]
From Hollywood and Vine, entertainment capital of the world, it's the Hour of Power featuring the song stylings of America's favorite balladeer, Jimmy Powers!
[Angel City Four]
Look out, look out
Look out for yourself
Ya gotta look out
[Jimmy Powers (Angel City Four)]
For yourself if you're hoping to be first
Then ya better think “me first”
Or you're gonna finish last
Ya gotta look out (look out!)
For yourself if you follow this format (yeah)
You'll be nobody's doormat (oh yeah)
It's a rule that's hard and fast
(It's a rule that's hard and fast)
This world ain't pure
On this you can depend
You'd best be sure
That you're your own best friend
Ya gotta look out (Ya gotta look out)
For yourself if you're planning to do good
(If you're planning to do good)
Then be sure it does you good
(Then be sure it does you good)
You don't wanna be too good
(You don't wanna be too good)
[All]
Ya gotta look out for yourself
Ya know the score when you adore yourself
When you're in danger you can count on me to shout
Look out for yourself
Ooh ah, ooh ah, ooh ah
Look out look out look out look out
Ooh ah, ooh ah, ooh ah
Look out look out look out look out look out
Ya gotta look out
[Brass Soli]
Ya gotta look out for yourself
Ya know the score when you adore yourself
When you're in danger you can count on me to shout
Look out for yourself
Look out for yourself!
