Button Up Your Overcoat (feat. Paul Weston & His Orchestra)

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
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
Button up your overcoat
When the wind is free
Oh, take good care of yourself
You belong to me Boop-boop-a-doop
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
