Be wise, be fair, be sure, be there, behave, beware.

Be wise, be smart, behave, my heart,
Don't upset your cart when she's so close.

Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet,
Don't go off your feet, she's too close [bad word] 

Too close, too close [bad word]  no, not again.
It's too close, too close to know just when to say "when".

Be firm-ah, be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care when there's such temptation.

One thing leads to another,
She's too late [bad word] for cover,
She's much too, too close [bad word] 

Du-du-tu, [bad word] ras,
Da-re-ra, da-da-da-da-du-url-da-de-da, oh!

(Sax solo)

Be wise, be fair, be sure, be there.

Put on your old thinking cap boy
'Cause if you don't look out you 
Will find that you are much too,
You're too close [bad word] 

You're heading for a mishap boy,
The first thing that you know she
Will have you up that old tree,
She's too close [bad word] 

Too close, too-u clo-ose, too close,
So du-da-l-da-du-da, du-da-l-da-du-da.

Oh, be firm and be fair, be absolutely sure, beware
On your guard, take care when there's such temptation.

One thing leads to another,
She's too late [bad word] for cover,
Much too, too close [bad word] now.

One thing leads to another,
She's too late [bad word] for cover,
Too much, too, too close [bad word] now.

One thing - ste-da-l-the-de -
One thing leads to another,
Much too, too close [bad word] now.

Be wise, be fair, be sure, be there, behave, beware -
She's too close, too close for co-omfort now, oh-!
