《Beware Brother Beware》歌词

[00:00:04] Beware Brother Beware - Louis Jordan

[00:00:10] Now, fellas, yes, you, fellas,

[00:00:12] Listen to me, I got something to tell you

[00:00:14] And I want you to listen to every word and govern yourselves accordingly

[00:00:16] Now pay attention

[00:00:18] You see these girls with these fine diamonds,

[00:00:21] Fox furs and fine clothes

[00:00:23] Well, jack, they're looking for a husband

[00:00:26] And you're listening to a man that knows

[00:00:28] They ain't foolin', and if you fool around with them

[00:00:31] You're gonna get yourself a schoolin'

[00:00:33] If she saves your dough,

[00:00:34] And won't go to a show

[00:00:35] Beware, Brother, Beware

[00:00:38] And if she's easy to kiss and never resists

[00:00:40] Becareful, becareful

[00:00:42] And if you go for a walk,

[00:00:44] And she just listens while you talk

[00:00:46] She's tryin' to hook you

[00:00:47] And nobody's lookin'

[00:00:49] And she asks you to taste her cookin'

[00:00:50] Don't do it, don't do it

[00:00:52] And if you go to a show

[00:00:53] And she wants to sit in the back row

[00:00:55] Bring her down front,

[00:00:56] Bring her right down front

[00:00:57] If you go for a snack,

[00:00:59] And she wants a booth in the back

[00:01:00] Watch it, she's tryin' to hook you

[00:01:02] And listen,

[00:01:02] If she's used to caviar and fine silk

[00:01:03] And when she goes out with you

[00:01:05] She wants a hot dog and a malted milk

[00:01:07] She's been used to goin' to carnegie hall,

[00:01:08] And when you take her out night clubing

[00:01:10] She wants to have one meatball

[00:01:11] If she grabs your hand and says,

[00:01:13] "darling, you're such a nice man"

[00:01:15] Beware, I'm telling you

[00:01:17] Listen to me, you thinks he's listening to me

[00:01:20] You better listen to me,

[00:01:21] I'm telling you what's being put down

[00:01:22] You better pick up on it

[00:01:24] Now listen to this

[00:01:25] If her sister calls you brother,

[00:01:26] You better get further

[00:01:27] I'm telling you,

[00:01:29] You better hear me

[00:01:30] And if she's kind of wild,

[00:01:31] And she says, "darling, please give me a trial"

[00:01:33] Don't do it, don't be weak,

[00:01:34] Don't give it to her

[00:01:35] If she looks up in your face and just melts into place

[00:01:38] Let her melt, forget it

[00:01:39] You think he's paying attention

[00:01:41] Should I ask him about the... should I...

[00:01:43] But should I tell him about the...

[00:01:45] Tell him everything, ok I'll tell him

[00:01:46] Listen, if she calls you on the phone,

[00:01:48] And she says,

[00:01:49] "darling, are you all alone?"

[00:01:50] Tell her, "no, you've got three girls with you"

[00:01:53] Don't pay no attention to women

[00:01:54] Stand up for your right,

[00:01:55] Be a man, that's right

[00:01:57] Should I tell him about the thing...

[00:01:59] Well listen, this is very important

[00:02:00] If you turn out the light and she don't fight

[00:02:03] That's all, that's all,

[00:02:04] That's the end, it's too late

[00:02:06] She's got you hooked,

[00:02:08] You might as well stick with her

[00:02:10] Put down that racing form

[00:02:11] And pay attention to me

[00:02:12] Now listen

[00:02:13] If you get home about two

[00:02:14] And you don't know what to do

[00:02:15] And you pull back the curtains,

[00:02:16] And the whole family's looking at you

[00:02:18] Get your business straight

[00:02:19] And set the date, and don't be late

[00:02:21] Brother, beware, beware, beware

[00:02:34] Brother, you better beware

[00:02:36] Beware
