Button Up Your Overcoat

lyrics or other text:
Button up your overcoat when the wind is free,
Take good care of yourself;You belong to me.
Eat an apple every day, Get in bed by three,
Take good care of yourself; You belong to me.
Be careful crossing streets, oo - oo,
Don't eat meats, oo - oo,
Cut out sweets, oo - oo,
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
