Listen, big boy
Now that I've got you made
Goodness, but I'm afraid
Something's going to happen to you
Listen, big boy
You've got me 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

Oh, eat an apple every day
Get to bed by three
Take good care of yourself
You belong to me

Be careful crossing streets, ooh, ooh
Don't eat meat, ooh, ooh
Cut out sweets, ooh, ooh
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum

Keep away from bootleg hooch
When you're on a spree
Take good care of yourself
You belong to me
[Trumpet Solo]

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

[Trumpet Solo]

Oh, button up your overcoat
When the wind is free
Take good care of yourself
You belong to me

Oh, wear your flannel underwear
When you climb a tree
Take good care of yourself
You belong to me

Steer clear of frozen ponds
Peroxide blondes
Stocks and bonds
You'll get a pain, ruin your bankroll

Take the spoon out of your cup
When you're drinking tea
Take good care of yourself
You belong to me
