Forget About Broken Daisies

When you take a taxicab, don't forget to tip       [F ]

Or you may promptly find yourself aboard a slaver's ship       [Beefy ]

And when you do the continental, don't forget to dip       [F ]

Or you may find your heart's desire has given you the slip       [Beefy ]

When you snatch a handkerchief, don't forget to sneeze       [F ]

Or you may promptly find yourself quite riddled with disease       [Beefy ]

And when you ask for seconds, don't forget the "please"       [Karin ]

Or you may find your heart's desire has vanished with the breeze       [Beefy ]

When you play the saxophone, don't forget to blow       [F ]

Or you may promptly find yourself withoiut a middle toe       [Beefy ]

And how you groove, you cool hepcat, I don't want to know       [F ]

Or I may find my heart's desire has melted like the snow       [Beefy ]

When you call your sweetheart 'slut,' don't forget to wink       [F ]

Or you may promptly find yourself a-flound'ring in the drink       [Beefy ]

And dear, when you go skating, please don't forget the rink       [F ]

Or you may find my heart's desire is stranger than you think       [Beefy ]
