Listen, big boy, |
|
Now that you got me made, |
|
Goodness, but |
|
I'm afraid, |
|
Somethin's gonna happen to you! |
|
Listen, big boy, |
|
You gotta be hooked, and how, |
|
I would die if |
|
I should lose you now! |
|
Button up your overcoat, |
|
When the wind is free, |
|
Oh, take good care of yourself, |
|
You belong to me! |
|
Eat an apple every day, |
|
Get to bed by three, |
|
Oh, take good care of yourself, |
|
You belong to me! |
|
Be careful crossing streets, ooh-ooh, |
|
Cut out sweets, ooh-ooh, |
|
Lay off meat, ooh-ooh, |
|
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum! |
|
Wear your flannel underwear, |
|
When you climb a tree, |
|
Oh, take good care of yourself, |
|
You belong to me! |
|
Button up your overcoat, |
|
When the wind is free, |
|
Oh, take good care of yourself, |
|
You belong to me! |
|
When you sass a traffic cop, |
|
Use diplomacy; |
|
Just take good care of yourself, |
|
You belong to me! |
|
Beware of frozen funds, ooh-ooh, |
|
Stocks and bonds, ooh-ooh, |
|
Dockside thugs, ooh-ooh, |
|
You'll get a pain and ruin your bankroll! |
|
Keep the spoon out of your cup, |
|
When you're drinking tea, |
|
Oh, take good care of yourself, |
|
You belong to me! |
|
Don't sit on hornet's tails, ooh-ooh! |
|
Or on nails, ooh-ooh! |
|
Or third rails, ooh-ooh! |
|
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum! |
|
Keep away from bootleg hooch |
|
When you're on a spree, |
|
Oh, take good care of yourself, |
|
You belong to me! |
