Take good care of what you've got, my father said to me
C7 F
As he puffed his pipe and Baby B he dandled on his knee
F7 Bb Db7 C7 F
Don't fool with fools who'll turn away, keep all good company
C7 F F7 Bb Db7
Ooh hoo, ooh hoo - Take care of those you call your own
C7 F
And keep good company
C7 F
Soon I grew, and happy too, my very good friends and me
C7 F
We'd play all day with Sally J., the girl from number four
F F7 Bb Db7
And very soon I begged her, Won't you keep me company
C7 F C7 F
Ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ooh hoo, ooh hoo
F F7 Bb Db7 C7 F
Come marry me forever more we'll be good company
Bb Fdim C F
D7 Gm C7 F D7
Now marriage is an institution, sure - My wife and I, our needs and nothing more
Gm7 Gm6 Eb Gm Bbm Bmadd9 Bbm A7
All my friends by a year by and by disappear, But we're safe enough behind our door
C7 F
I flourished in my humble trade, my reputation grew
C7 F
The work devoured my waking hours, but when my time was through
F7 Bb Db7 C7 F
Reward of all my efforts : My own limited company
C7 F C7 F F F7 Bb Db7 C7 F
F F7 Bb Db7 C7 Bbm Dm
I hardly noticed Sally as we parted company
Gm7 Gm6 Eb Gm
All through the years, in the end it appears
Bbm Bmadd 9 Bm7 A7
There was never really anyone but me
C7 F
Now I'm old, I puff my pipe but no-one's there to see
C7 F
I ponder on the lesson of my life's insanity
F7 Bb Db7 C7 F
Take care of those you call your own and keep good company
