"Button Up Your Overcoat" (1978)
Lyrics:
Button up your overcoat,
Ooh, When the wind is free.
And take good care of yourself,
You belong to me.
Boop-Oopy-Doop, Oh!
Eat an apple everyday,
Go to bed by three.
And take good care of yourself,
You belong to me, Oh!
Be careful crossing streets,
Ooh,Ooh
And cut out meat,
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Cut out sweet,
Um... No!
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum tum,
Keep away from college boys,
When your on a spree.
And take good care of yourself,
You belong to me.
Boop-Oopy-Doop-Bop!

Boop-Oopy-Doo!
Eat an apple everyday,
Get to bed by three.
And take good care of yourself,
You belong to me.
Ooh!
Be careful crossing streets
Ooh,Ooh!
And cut out meat,
Na-na-na-na-na!
And cut out sweet.
Ooh,Ooh!
You'll get a pain and ruin your tum tum,
Keep away from college boys.
When your on a spree,
And take good care of yourself.
You belong to me,
