Verse 1
You're (A minor) so wonderful.
I'm gonna close this set today.
I feel this spirit coming on
of the great Eddie Cantor
(D minor) (A minor) My uncle Billy
gave me some advice
all on account of the girls
You're never out with
the same girly twice
I said (D minor) look (C sharp major) here, (A minor) you needn't fear
They're (D minor) old enough to know
what they're doing,
but (A minor) he said with a grin,
why (C sharp major) that's where the trouble (A minor) comes in.
When they're old enough
to know better,
it's better (C sharp major) to leave (D minor) them alone. (A minor) (C sharp major)
(D minor) Though (A minor) they act like
little babies of two,
take it from me,
they can take it from you.
Never say too much in a letter
Or tell all you know on the phone
I asked a girl to shimmy
(D minor) and she said,
(A minor) My (F major) gosh,
(A minor) how can I do the shimmy
when it's in (D minor) the wash?
(A minor) When they're old enough
to know better
It's better to leave them alone
When (B major) they're (A minor) old enough
to know better
It's better (C sharp major) to leave them alone (B flat minor)
(D minor) Though (A minor) they act like little babies of two
Take it from me,
they can take it from you
Never say too much in a letter
Or tell all you know on the phone
Once a widow told me she was twenty -four
I know she lost her (A minor) husband
in the Civil War
When they're old enough to know better
It's (D minor) better (A minor) to leave them alone
Thank you, God bless you,
thank you Mr. Ken, Mr. Rich,
and Miss Marla
for your wonderful time.
Until then, nighty -night!
