Cole Porter
Buddie, Beware
[ERMA, spoken]
Come on, fellas, gettin' married's for the birds. Who needs it?

[SAILORS, spoken]
We do!

[ERMA, spoken]
Oh, yeah?

(sung)
Buddie, beware
Buddie, better take care
Though at heart I'm a pearl
I'm a difficult girl
So, buddie, beware

When I go to a show
I prefer the first row
When invited to dine
I can't eat without wine
So, buddie, beware

During Christmas holidays
I develop taking ways
And I'm not at all anti
Pretty things Santy
Brings from Cartier's
Your devotion I prize
But you must realize, my boys
Other girl's luxuries
Are my necessities
So, buddie, beware

Buddie, beware
Buddie, better take care
Since the day I was weened
I'm a caviar fiend
So, buddie, beware

I feel I should put you right
As I lie in bed at night
While the twinkling stars gleam on
With my cold cream on
I'm a lovely sight

And another thing too
When I'm married to you, my sweet
If to come home you fail
I'll open all your mail

(spoken)
Hit it!
(sung)
So, buddie, beware
