BEHAVE YOURSELF
Title song from the film "Behave Yourself!" (1951)
(Lew Spence / Buddy Ebsen)
Behave yourself
When we're apart, just lock your heart
And save yourself for me
Behave yourself
When you're away, recall the day
You gave yourself to me
The world is full of danger
Be careful when you roam
And don't take candy from strangers
If you want sweetness, come on back home
Enslave yourself
To no one new, remember to
Behave yourself, for don't you see
If you behave yourself
Then you can come down off the shelf
And do your misbehavin' with me
