Lyrics
Be firm, be fair
Be sure, beware
Behave, be there
Be wise, be smart, behave my heart
Don't upset that cat when she's so close
Be soft and sweet, but be discreet
Don't go off your feet
She's too close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, no, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say when
Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care
When there's such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort
Sha-doo-doo-doo-du-bu-bu ba
Sha-doo-doo-bo-bo-ba-du-ba-ba-du-bi-di-ba-ra-ba
Be firm, be fair
Be sure, beware
Put on your old thinking cap, boy
The first thing that you know you -
Will find that you are much too
Too close for comfort
Go ahead, and for a mishap, boy
The first thing that you know she
Will have you up that old tree
She's too close for comfort
Too close, sha-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Too close, whoa, too close
Sha-du-bi-du-bi-li-li-du-ba-doo-ba-doo-doo-du-bi-di
Be firm and be fair, be absolutely sure, beware
On your guard, take care
When there is such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for mother
She's much too close for comfort now
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She's much too close for comfort now
Be firm, be fair
Be sure, beware
Behave, be there
She's too close, too close, for comfort now
(Yeah)
(Yeah, thank you)
Thank you so much
