Beware Brother Beware Lyrics

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
