Button Up Your Overcoat Lyrics
Button Up Your Overcoat - Ruth Etting
Listen big boy now that you got me made
Goodness but I'm afraid
Somethin'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 ooh ooh
Don't leave me
Cut out sweets ooh ooh
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum
Keep your flannel underwear
When you climb a tree
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
Button up your overcoat
When the wind is free
Oh take good care of yourself
You belong to me
Wear your flannel underwear
When you climb a tree
Oh 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
