Beware |
Now, fellas |
Yes, you fellas |
Listen to me |
I got something to tell you |
I want you to listen to every word and govern yourselves accordingly |
Now pay attention |
You see these girls with these fine diamonds an' fox furs an' fine clothes |
Well Jack, they’re looking for a husband |
And you’re listening to a man that knows |
They ain’t foolin' |
And if you fool around with them |
You’re gonna get yourself a schoolin' |
If she saves your dough |
And won’t go to a show |
Beware, brother, beware |
And if she’s easy to kiss |
And never resist |
(Beware, brother, beware) |
Be careful, be careful |
And if you go for a walk |
And she just listens while you talk |
She’s tryin' to hook you |
And if nobody’s lookin' |
And she asks you to taste her cookin' |
Don’t do it, don’t do it |
And if you go to a show |
And she wants to sit in the back row |
Bring her down front, bring her right down front |
And if you go for a snack |
And she wants a booth in the back |
Watch her, she’s tryin' to hook you |
And listen |
If she’s used to caviar and fine silk |
And when she goes out with you |
She wants a hot dog and a malted milk |
She’s been used to going to Carnegie Hall |
And when you take her out night clubbing |
She wants to hear «One meatball» |
(That's all) |
If she grabs your hand and says |
«Darling, you’re such a nice man» |
Beware, I’m telling you |
Listen to me |
You think he’s listening to me? |
(Yeah he’s listenin') |
You better listen to me |
I’m telling you what’s being put down |
You better pick up on it |
Now listen to this |
If her sister calls you «Brother» |
You better get further |
I’m tellin' ya |
You better hit her |
And if she’s kinda wild |
And she says «Darling, please give me a trial» |
Don’t do it |
Don’t be weak, don’t give it to her |
If she looks up in your face |
And just melts into place |
Let her melt |
Forget it |
You think he’s payin' attention to us? |
(Yeah, he’s listenin') |
Should I ask 'em about the… |
(Tell 'em everything) |
Should I- but should I tell 'em about the- |
(Everything) |
Tell 'em everything, okay, I’ll tell 'em |
Listen |
If she calls you on the phone |
And she says «Darling, are you all alone?» |
Tell her no, you’ve got three girls with you |
Don’t pay no attention to women |
Stand up for your rights |
Be a man, that’s right |
(Superman) |
Should I ask 'em about the… |
(Everything) |
Well listen, this is very important |
If you turn out the light |
And she don’t fight |
That’s all |
That’s all, that’s the end |
It’s too late, then, she’s got you hooked |
You just well as stick with her |
Put down that racing form and pay attention to me |
Now listen |
If you get home about two |
And you don’t know what to do |
And you pull back the curtain |
And the whole family’s lookin' at you |
Get your business straight |
And set the date |
And don’t be late |
Gate |
So brother, beware |
Beware |
Beware |
Brother, you better beware |
Beware |
