Button up Your Overcoat

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

Take good care of yourself

You belong to me

Be careful crossing streets

Cut out sweets

Lay off meat

You'll get a pain and ruin your tum tum

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

Or on nails

Or third rails

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

Eat an apple every day

Get to bed by three

Take good care of yourself

You belong to me

Be careful crossing streets

Cut out sweets

When you're on a spree

Lay off meat

You'll get a pain and ruin your tum tum

Keep the spoon out of your cup

When you're on the street

Take good care of yourself

You belong to me
