Lyrics:
First verse
Take a tip from one who knows, all you single men, If you've a girl to call your own, Don't ever leave her all alone. If temptation comes her way, will she pass it by? That's a question, so my suggestion is, Watch her on the sly. First
Chorus
Keep your eye on the girlie you love, There's a beau that you know nothing of, Who may be there to call, when you're out of sight, Of course, she may not fall, but may be she might. Never leave her for more than a day, Cause there's hundreds that lose em that way, So keep your eye upon your girl, Bill, If you don't some other fellow will. Keep your eye on the girlie you love, There's a beau that you know nothing of, Who may be there to call, when you're out of sight, Of course, she may not fall, but may be she might. Never leave her for more than a day, Cause there's hundreds that lose em that way, So keep your eye upon your girl, Bill, If you don't some other fellow will.
Second verse
It's a tough thing now-a-days, picking out a girl, So when you find your heart's delight, Take my advice and treat her right, Girls are fickle as can be, change their minds each day; Do a rave to em, be a slave to em, That's the wisest way.
Second chorus
Keep your eye on the girlie you love, Just be sure that she's your turtle dove, Don't take a chance and introduce your best pal, For if she likes him best, goodbye to your gal. She may kiss you goodnight by mistake, Call you Clarence, when your name is Jake, So keep your eye upon your girl, Bill, If you don't some other fellow will. Keep your eye on the girlie you love, Just be sure that she's your turtle dove, Don't take a chance and introduce your best pal, For if she likes him best, goodbye to your gal. She may kiss you goodnight by mistake, Call you Clarence, when your name is Jake, So keep your eye upon your girl, Bill, If you don't some other fellow will.
