Button Up Your Overcoat Lyrics - Songs The Bonzo Dog Band Taught Us - Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band

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 

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 

Boop-boop-a-doop 

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
