Button Up Your Overcoat by Ruth Etting
Words and music by DeSylva, Brown, and Henderson
Listen, big boy,
Now that I�ve got you made,
Goodness, but I�m afraid,
Something�s going to happen to you;
Listen, big boy,
You�ve got me hooked, and how,
I would die if I should lose you now!
Button up your overcoat,
When the wind is free,
Take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Oh, eat an apple every day,
Get to bed by three,
Take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Be careful crossing streets, ooh-ooh,
Don�t eat meats, ooh-ooh,
Cut out sweets, ooh-ooh,
You�ll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum!
Keep away from bootleg hooch
When you�re on a spree,
Take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Don�t step on hornet�s tails, ooh-ooh!
Or on nails, ooh-ooh!
Or third rails, ooh-ooh!
You�ll get a pain and ruin your tum-tum!
Oh, button up your overcoat,
When the wind is free,
Take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Oh, wear your flannel underwear,
When you climb a tree,
Take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!
Steer clear of frozen ponds, ooh-ooh,
Peroxide blondes, ooh-ooh,
Stocks and bonds, ooh-ooh,
You�ll get a pain, ruin your bankroll!
Keep the spoon out of your cup,
When you�re drinking tea,
Take good care of yourself,
You belong to me!

"Hey! You! Get off of My Cloud" By the Rolling Stones.
http://youtu.be/YlhPRuAve8k
GET OFF OF MY CLOUD
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)
I live in an apartment on the ninety-ninth floor of my block
And I sit at home looking out the window imagining the world has stopped
Then in flies a guy who�s all dressed up like a Union Jack
And says, I�ve won five pounds if I have his kind of detergent pack
I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don�t hang around �cause two�s a crowd n my cloud, baby
The telephone is ringing I say, "Hi, it�s me. Who is it there on the line?"
A voice says, "Hi, hello, how are you, well, I guess I�m doin� fine"
He says, "It�s three a.m., there�s too much noise don�t you people ever wanna go to bed?
Just �cause you feel so good, do you have to drive me out of my head?"
I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don�t hang around �cause two�s a crowd
On my cloud baby
I was sick and tired, fed up with this and decided to take a drive downtown
It was so very quiet and peaceful there was nobody, not a soul around
I laid myself out, I was so tired and I started to dream
In the morning the parking tickets were just like a flag stuck on my window screen
I said, Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don�t hang around �cause two�s a crowd
On my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Hey! You! Get off of my cloud
Don�t hang around, baby, two�s a crowd
