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! |
