Take good care of what you've got My father said to me As he puffed his pipe and baby B He
dandled on his knee Don't fool with fools who'll turn away Keep all good company oohoo oohoo Take care of those you
call your own and keep good company
Soon I grew and happy too My very good friends and me We'd play all day
with Sally J The girl from number four And very soon I begged her Won't you keep me company? Oohoo oohoo oohoo
oohoo Come marry me for evermore We'll be good company
Now marriage is an institution sure My wife and I our
needs and nothing more All my friends by a year by and by disappeared But we're safe enough behind our door
I
flourished in my humble trade my reputation grew The work devoured my waking hours but when my time was through Reward
of all my efforts My own Limited Company I hardly noticed Sally as we parted company All through the years in the
end it appears There was never really anyone but me Now I'm old I puff my pipe but no one's there to see I ponder
on the lesson of my life's insanity Take care of those you call your own And keep good company
