Good Company

Words and music by brian may



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 oohoo oohoo

Take care of those you call your own and keep good

Company



Soon i grew and happy too

My very good friends and me

We'd play all day with sally j

The girl from number four

And very soon i begged her

Won't you keep me company?

Oohoo oohoo oohoo oohoo

Come marry me for evermore

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

And keep good company
