Take good care of what youve got My father said to me

As he puffed his pipe and baby B. He dandled on his knee

Dont fool with fools wholl turn away Keep all good company Oo hoo oo hoo

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 wont you Keep me company ?

Oo hoo oo hoo Oo hoo oo hoo Come marry me for ever-----more We'll be good company

Now marriage is an insinuation 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 Im old I puff my pipe But no-ones there to see

I ponder on the lesson of My lifes insanity

Take care of those you call your own And keep good company
