Lyrics
Be firm, Be fair, Be sure, Beware,
On Your guard take care.
While there’s such temptation.
One thing will lead to another,
To late to run for cover,
She’s much to close for comfort now.
Be wise, Be smart, Behave my heart
Don’t upset, your cart when she’s so close.
Be soft, be sweet, But be discreet.
Don’t go off your beat
She’s to close for comfort
To close to close for comfort please not again
To close to close to no just when to say when,
Be firm, Be fair, be absolutely sure, Beware
On your guard take care
While there’s such temptation
One thing will lead to another
To late to run for cover
She’s much to close for comfort now
To close to close for comfort
She’s to close to close to no just when to say when
Be firm, Be fair, Be sure Beware,
On your guard take care
While there’s such temptation
One things leads to another,
To late to run for cover
She’s much to close for comfort now
(And just a little pinch of soda)
One thing leads to another
To late to run for cover
She’s much to close for comfort now
She’s much to much, much to much
She’s to much to close for comfort now
