Button Up Your Overcoat Songtext
von Gordon MacRae

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
Don′t eat meat, ooh-ooh
Cut out sweets, ooh-ooh
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum

Stay away from bootleg hooch when you′re on a spree
Take good care of yourself, you belong to me


Take good care of yourself, you belong to me
Take good care of yourself, you belong to me
Be careful crossing the streets
Cut out the meats
Never eat sweets
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum

Don't go out with college boys when you′re on a spree
Take good care of yourself, you belong to me
Don′t sit on hornet's tails (Be careful, honey)
Or on nails (It′s not so funny)
Or third rails (Ooh, doo-doo, ow)
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum

Eat an apple every day, get to bed by three
Take good care of yourself, you belong to me
