  Button up your overcoat, When the wind is free,
Gm7   C7   Gm7         C7            F           Gm7  C7+5
 take good care of yourself,  You belong to me!
F                       G7
 Eat an apple every day,  Get to bed by three,
Gm7   C7    Gm7         C7            F         [STOP] 
 take good care of yourself,  You belong to me!

 Be careful crossing streets, ooh-ooh,  Cut out sweets, ooh-ooh,
 Dm       A+   Dm7  G7   C7            Gm7     C7        C7+5
 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!
