YOU'LL GET YOURS
Jimmy Van Heusen / Doc Stanford
as rec by Frank Sinatra w Nelson Riddle & his Orch Sep 13th 1955 Los Angeles
Like a fish gets caught on a hook,
You'll go for a line! Get hip with The Book!
Like a cop puts 'cuffs o0n a crook,
Baby, you'll get yours!
Like a clown falls down from a slap,
You'll fall for sweet talk and know you're a sap!
Like a bear walks right in the trap,
Baby, you'll get yours!
Like Eve, who tricked old Adam,
Had to pay the cost;
A great voice boomed and said, "Madam,
Get lost!".
Like a spider spins a web and waits for a fly,
You'll fall for a gent, some hard-hearted guy;
When he walks out, whistlin' goodbye,
Watch those swingin' doors,
'Cause you'll get yours!
Just like Eve, who tricked old Adam,
Had to pay the cost;
A great voice boomed and said, "Madam,
Get lost!".
Like a spider spins a web and waits for a fly,
You'll fall for a gent, some hard-hearted guy;
When he walks out, whistlin' goodbye,
Watch those swingin' doors,
'Cause you'll, you'll get yours!
