Take good care of what you've got

My father said to me
      C#7
As he puffed his pipe and baby B
   F#
He dandled on his knee
      F#        F#/E         H/Eb  D7
Don't fool with fools who'll turn away
     C#7           F#   C#    F#
Keep all good company oohoo oohoo
     F#      F#/E      H/Eb      D7      C#7          F#
Take care of those you call your own and keep good company

Soon I grew and happy too
My very good friends and me
We'd play all day with Sally J
The girl from number four
And very soon I begged her
Won't you keep me company?
Oohoo oohoo oohoo oohoo
Come marry me for evermore
We'll be good company

Now marriage is an institution sure
   C#7                              F#    Eb7
My wife and I our needs and nothing more
       H/F#         H/F         H/E    G#m
All my friends by a year by and by disappeared
          Hm           Hsus  H/D Bb    
But we're safe enough behind  our door


I flourished in my humble trade my reputation grew
The work devoured my waking hours but when my time was through
Reward of all my efforts
My own Limited Company

  F#     F#/E    H     D7    C#7       D
I hardly noticed Sally as we parted company
F#              F            E        Eb
All through the years in the end it appears
          D            F#         H
There was never really anyone but me

Now I'm old I puff my pipe but no one's there to see
I ponder on the lesson of my life's insanity
Take care of those you call your own
And keep good company
