Beware [Brother, 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
