| 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! |
