| 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,
 | 
| Oh, 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,
 | 
| Cut out sweets, ooh-ooh,
 | 
| Lay off meat, ooh-ooh,
 | 
| 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!
 | 
| When you sass a traffic cop,
 | 
| Use diplomacy;
 | 
| Just take good care of yourself,
 | 
| You belong to me!
 | 
| Beware of frozen funds, ooh-ooh,
 | 
| Stocks and bonds, ooh-ooh,
 | 
| Dockside thugs, 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! |
