Good Company

歌曲歌詞

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

Oohoo oohoo

Take care of those you call your own

And keep good company

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

Oohoo oohoo oohoo oohoo

Come marry me for evermore

We'll be good company

Now marriage is an institution sure

My wife and I our needs and nothing more

All my friends by a year by and by disappeared

But we're safe enough behind our door

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

I hardly noticed Sally as we parted company

All through the years in the end it appears

There was never really anyone but me

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
