Be wise. Be fair. Be sure. Be there. Behave. Beware.
Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's to close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, no, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort
instrumental
Be wise. Be fair. Be sure. Be there.
Put on your old thinking cap boy
Cause if you don't look out you
Will find out that you are much too
You're too close for comfort.
You're heading for a mishap boy
The first thing that you know she
Will have you up that old tree.
She's too close for comfort
Too close, so close
Too close
Be firm and be fair, be absolutely sure, beware
On your guard, take care, when there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Much too, too close for comfort now
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Much too, too close for comfort now
One thing
One thing leads to another
Much too, too close for comfort now
Be wise. Be fair. Be sure. Be there. Behave. Beware.
She's too close, too close for comfort now
Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart
Don't upset your cart when she's so close
Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet, she's to close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, no, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say "when"
Be firm, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care, while there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort
instrumental
Be wise. Be fair. Be sure. Be there.
Put on your old thinking cap boy
Cause if you don't look out you
Will find out that you are much too
You're too close for comfort.
You're heading for a mishap boy
The first thing that you know she
Will have you up that old tree.
She's too close for comfort
Too close, so close
Too close
Be firm and be fair, be absolutely sure, beware
On your guard, take care, when there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Much too, too close for comfort now
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
Much too, too close for comfort now
One thing
One thing leads to another
Much too, too close for comfort now
Be wise. Be fair. Be sure. Be there. Behave. Beware.
She's too close, too close for comfort now
