Beware, Brother, Beware Lyrics

Now, 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 pay attention

You see these girls with these fine diamonds, fox furs and fine clothes

Well, jack, they're looking for a husband and you're listening to a man that knows

They ain't foolin', and if you fool around with them

You're gonna get yourself a schoolin'

If she saves your dough, and won't go to a show

Beware, Brother, Beware

And if she's easy to kiss and never resists

Becareful, becareful

And if you go for a walk, and she just 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 go for a snack, and she wants a booth in the back

Watch it, she's tryin' to hook you

And listen, if she's used to caviar and fine silk

And when she goes out with you she wants a hot dog and a malted milk

She's been used to goin' to carnegie hall, and when you take her out night clubing

She wants to have one meatball

If she grabs your hand and says, "darling, you're such a nice man"

Beware, I'm telling you

Listen to me, you thinks he's listening to me

You better listen to me, I'm telling you what's being put down

You better pick up on it

If her sister calls you brother, you better get further

I'm telling you, you better hear me

And if she's kind of wild, and she says, "darling, please give me a trial"

Don't do it, don't be weak, don't give it to her

If she looks up in your face and just melts into place

Let her melt, forget it

You think he's paying attention

Should I ask him about the... should I...

But should I tell him about the... tell him everything, ok I'll tell him

Listen, if she calls you on the phone, and she says,

"darling, are you all alone?"

Tell her, "no, you've got three girls with you"

Don't pay no attention to women

Stand up for your right, be a man, that's right

Should I tell him about the thing...

Well listen, this is very important

If you turn out the light and she don't fight

That's all, that's all,

That's the end, it's too late

She's got you hooked, you might as well stick with her

Put down that racing form and pay attention to me

Now listen

If you get home about two and you don't know what to do

And you pull back the curtains, and the whole family's looking at you

Get your business straight

And set the date, and don't be late

Brother, beware, beware, beware

Brother, you better beware
