Empty Hats - Take Her In Your Arms lyrics

Have you seen him on the corner His lip has reached the pavement He's been hiding from his razor Is he not an awful sight? In love he was the purist Now he's frightening our tourists If he'd only asked his father Then I'm sure he'd set him right, sayin' "Take her in your arms And tell her that you love her Take her in your arms And hold that woman tight Won't you take her in your arms And tell her that you love her If you're going to love a woman Then be sure and do it right." Well, he met her at some tavern Which was dark as any cavern And it all would have been different If he'd seen her in daylight She was painted, she was scented And she drove your man demented If he'd only asked his father Then I'm sure he'd set him right, sayin' "Take her in your arms And tell her that you love her Take her in your arms And hold that woman tight Won't you take her in your arms And tell her that you love her If you're going to love a woman Then be sure and do it right." Well, depression's not a million laughs But suicide's too dangerous Don't go leapig' out of buildings In the middle of the night It's not the fall but landing That'll alter social standin' So go first and ask your father And I'm sure he'll set you right, sayin' "Take her in your arms And tell her that you love her Take her in your arms And hold that woman tight Won't you take her in your arms And tell her that you love her If you're going to love a woman Then be sure and do it right." Here's a health to all true lovers Their sisters and their brothers Their uncles and their grannies For this thing is black and white If you're keen to start romancin' With it's leaping and it's dancin' Go first and ask your father And I'm sure he'll set you right, sayin' "Take her in your arms And tell her that you love her Take her in your arms And hold that woman tight Won't you take her in your arms And tell her that you love her If you're going to love a woman Then be sure and do it right." "Take her in your arms And tell her that you love her Take her in your arms And hold that woman tight Won't you take her in your arms And tell her that you love her If you're going to love a woman Be sure and do it right."
