Just you fellas, listen to me Because I've got something to tell you And I want you to hear every word And govern yourself accordingly Now you see these girls with these fine diamonds And fox furs and fine clothes?
Well, Jack, they're looking for a husband And you're listening to a man who knows That they ain't fooling And if you fool around with them You gonna be in for a schooling If she saves your dough and don't want to go to a show
Beware, brother beware Is she's easy to kiss and she don't resist Beware, brother beware
And when you go for a walk and she listens when you talk She's trying to hook you And when there ain't nobody looking She asks you to taste her cooking Don't do it, don't do it Don't do that, don't do it
Now if you go to a show And she wants to sit in the back row Bring her down front, bring her right down front You got that?
And if you want to go for a snack And she wants to boop in the back Watch it, she's trying to hook you
And listen, if she's used to caviar and fine silk And when she goes out with you She wants a hot dog and a malted milk She's been used to going to Carnegie hall
And when you take her night clubbing She wants to hear one meatball And she grabs your hand and says "Darlin', you're such a nice man" Beware, I'm tellin' ya what's been put down And you better pick up on it
Now listen here, if her sister calls you brother You better get further, I'm telling you You better get out of there And if she's acting kinda wild and says "Darlin', give me a trial" Don't do it, don't be weak, don't give in to her
And if she looks up in your face And just melts into place, let her melt, forget it You think they're payin' attention to me? Should I tell them about the should I? Okay, I'm gonna tell them
If she calls you on the phone and says "Darlin', are you all alone?" No, no, no, you got three girls with you Don't pay no attention to women Stand up for your rights, you're a man, that's right Should I tell them about everything?
Okay, if you turn out the light, and she don't fight That's all, that's all, that's the end It's too late then, she got you hooked You might as well stick with her Pay attention to me, because this is very important Here we go baby
If you're home about two and you don't know what to do You pull back the curtains, the whole family's looking at you Get your business straight, set the date And Lord don't be late
So brother, beware Brother you better beware, beware
