Button Up Your Overcoat

Button Up Your Overcoat - Helen Kane

Listen big boy

Now that you got me made

Goodness but I'm afraid

Something'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 oh oh

Cut out sweets oh oh

Lay off meat oh oh

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 ponds ooh ooh

Stocks and bonds ooh ooh

Peroxide blondes 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
