Button Up Your Overcoat |
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! |
