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 You belong to me 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
