Good Company - Remastered 2011

Take good care of what you've got
 My father said to me
 As he puffed his pipe and baby B
 He dandled on his knee
 Don't fool with fools who'll turn away
 Keep all good company
 Oh, ho, oh, ho
 Take care of those you call your own
 And keep good company
 Soon I grew up and happy too
 My very good friends and me
 We'd play all day with Sally J
 The girl from number four
 Very soon, I begged her
 Won't you keep me company?
 Oh, ho, oh, ho
 Oh, ho, oh, ho
 Come marry me forevermore
 We'll be good company
 ♪
 Now marriage is an institution, sure
 My wife and I, our needs and nothing more
 All my friends by a year
 By and by disappeared
 But we're safe enough behind our door
 I flourished in my humble trade
 My reputation grew
 The work devoured my waking hours
 But when my time was through
 Reward of all my efforts
 My own limited company
 ♪
 I hardly noticed Sally, as we parted company
 ♪
 All through the years, in the end, it appears
 There was never really anyone, but me
 Now I'm old, I puff my pipe
 But no one's there to see
 I ponder on the lesson of my life's insanity
 Take care of those you call your own (Own, own)
 And keep good company
