Hey, fellas, yes, you, fellas, listen to me, i got something to tell you |
|
And i want you to listen to every word and govern yourselves accordingly |
|
Now, you see these girls with these fine diamonds, fine furs and fine clothes |
|
Well, they're looking for a husband and you're listening to a man who knows |
|
They ain't foolin', and if you fool around with them |
|
You're gonna get yourself in a schoolin' |
|
Listen, if she saves you dough, and won't go to the show |
|
Beware |
|
If she's easy to kiss and won't resist |
|
Beware |
|
And if you go for a walk, and she listens while you talk |
|
She's tryin' to hook you |
|
And nobody's lookin' and she asks you to taste her cookin' |
|
Don't do it, don't do it |
|
And if you go to a show and she wants to sit in the back row |
|
Bring her down front, bring her right down front |
|
If you wanna go for a snack, and she wants to sit in the booth in the back |
|
Beware |
|
And listen, if she's used to caviar and fine silk |
|
When you go out with her she wanna a hot dog and a malted milk |
|
She's trying to get you |
|
If you're used to goin' to carnegie hall, but when you take her out night clubing |
|
All she wants is one meatball |
|
You better take it easy |
|
If she grabs your hand and says, "darling, you're such a nice man" |
|
Beware, i'm telling you |
|
(should i tell them no more?) |
|
(tell them everything) |
|
You better listen to me 'cause i'm telling you what's being put down |
|
You better pick up on it |
|
If her sister calls your brother, you better get further |
|
I'm telling you, you better watch it |
|
And if she's acting kind of wild, and she says, "darling, give me a trial" |
|
Don't you do it, don't be weak, don't give it to her |
|
And if she smiles in your face and just melts into place |
|
Let her melt, forget it, let her melt |
|
(should i tell them no more?) |
|
(tell them everything) |
|
Now listen, if she calls you up on the phone, and says, |
|
"darling, are you all alone?" |
|
Tell her, "no, no, i've got two, three women with me" |
|
Don't pay no attention to women |
|
Stand up for your right, be a man, be a man |
|
(are you listening?) |
|
If you turn out the lights and she don't fight |
|
That's the end, it's too late |
|
She's got you hooked, you might as well stick with her |
|
(should i tell them no more?) |
|
If you get home about two and don't know what to do |
|
You pull back the curtains, and the whole family's looking at you |
|
Get your business straight |
|
Set the date, don't be late |
|
Brother, beware, beware, beware |
|
Brother, you better beware |
