Good Company

[Verse 1] "Take good care of what you've got" My father said to me As he puffed his pipe and Baby B He dandled on his knee Don't fool with fools who'll turn away Keep all good company Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh [Chorus] Take care of those you call your own And keep good company [Verse 2] Soon I grew and happy too My very good friends and me We'd play all day with Sally J The girl from number four And very soon I begged her "Won't you keep me company?" Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh [Chorus] Oh, marry me forevermore We'll be good company Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh We'll be good company [Bridge] Now marriage is an institution, sure My wife and I, our needs and nothing more All my friends by a year By and by disappear But we're safe enough behind our door [Verse 3] I flourished in my humble trade My reputation grew The work devoured my waking hours But when my time was through Reward of all my efforts My own limited company [Ukulele Solo] [Chorus] I hardly noticed Sally As we parted company [Bridge] All through the years In the end, it appears There was never really anyone but me [Verse 4] Now I'm old, I puff my pipe But no one's there to see I ponder on the lesson of My life's insanity [Chorus] Take care of those you call your own And keep good company [Guitar Jazz Band Section]
