[Verse 1: Michael Franks]
Brush every night, don't let the bedbugs bite
The ones I'm referring to
Though I'll be gone, I'll be
Keeping my eye on you

[Verse 2: Dan Hicks]
Don't stay out late, stay home and cogitate
And write me a letter too
Though I'll be gone, I'll be
Keeping my eye on you

[Chorus: Michael Franks and Dan Hicks]
May I suggest that you screen your calls
And just make the most of your own four walls
Unless that flashing message light means "me"
And then R.S.V.P

[Verse 3: Dan Hicks]
Don't be surprised, if roses should arrive
But first, ascertain from who
No matter my grammar, I'm
Keeping my eye on you

[Verse 4: Michael Franks and Dan Hicks]
Pray to some saint, don't let any old acquaintance
Convince you his heart's still true
'Til I get home, I'll be
Keeping my eye on you
[Chorus: Michael Franks and Dan Hicks]
May I suggest that you screen your calls
And just make the most of your own four walls
Unless that flashing message light means "me"
And then R.S.V.P

[Outro: Michael Franks and Dan Hicks]
I'm keeping my eye on you
I'm keeping my eye on you
I'm keeping my eye on you
I'm keeping my eye on you
I'm keeping my eye on you
I'm keeping my eye on you
I'm keeping my eye on you
I'm keeping my eye on you
