Discover Me 

Al Simmons/Whitely/Sheard 1990



You say you are the last to be served at a hot dog stand? You can't hail a taxi? Are you easily lost in a crowd? Are you overlooked at the dance? Have you ever felt like you were invisible? This song is dedicated to you. Next time you are being ignored stand on a chair and start singing this song, people will sit up and take notice.   


Like water waiting for a glass to hold me 

Before love dies of thirst, 

I won't ask you for a second glance 

At least give me the first. 

Gaileo discovered mountains on the moon 

And sunspots with his telescope 

Pluto was first sighted by Walt Disney 

But for a goofy guy like me there's not much hope. 


Chorus 

When will you discover me 

When will you look around and see, 

My hearts like an uncharted island 

In this deep blue sea 

Oh, when will you discover me. 

Who's legs were discovered under the counter 

In a drug store at Hollywood and Vine 

In 1935 they were Lana Turner's 

Today let them be mine 


Chorus 


Colonel parker found Elvis 

John Hammond found Aretha 

Stanely found Livingston - so I presume 

Michael Angelo found David - in a block of marble 

Our day can't come too soon 


Madame Currie found radium 

Sir Humphrey Davie found boron 

Jed Clampet found black gold Texas tea 

Baden Powell found the boy scouts I'll be prepared 

`cause some day you will find me 


Chorus
