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!
