Good Company lyrics

[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

Oo Hoo Oo Hoo

[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

[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

[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
