[Verse 1]
Don't ever cut your hair on Sunday morning
There'll come a big old bald spot on your head
And don't hide no dirty books beneath your mattress
Or you'll come back and find the devil in your bed

[Chorus]
Yeah, there's things you should and shouldn't do
But here's some good advice for you
Don't make no big decisions on your own (I won't do it alone)
And don't ever let your lover sleep alone
Hey, don't ever let your lover sleep alone
Or you'll come back and find a nightmare in your home
There's things you should and shouldn't do
But here's somе good advice for you
Don't ever lеt your lover sleep alone (I won't! - Hey, fiddle!)

[Verse 2]
Don't ever bet your bottom on a greyhound
You'll wind up with a pair of baggy pants
And don't leave your darlin' hangin' when you boogie
Always try to finish every dance

[Chorus]
There's things you should and shouldn't do
But here's some good advice for you
Don't ever let your lover sleep alone (What else?)
And don't make no big decisions on your own
Hey, don't ever let your lover sleep alone
Or you'll come back and find a nightmare in your home
There's things you should and shouldn't do
But here's some good advice for you
Don't ever let your darlin' sleep alone (I won't!)
