Behave, Be Quiet Or Be Gone - Roy Duke

Behave, Be Quiet Or Be Gone

Roy Duke

(V. McAlpin - R. Duke, Decca 29962, 1956)

Well you don't get up till the sun goes down
You're never home till it's closin' time
I tried everything to get along
You gotta behave, be quiet or be gone
Change the way you been carryin' on
Or you'll wake up and find yourself alone
I listened to your talk a-way too long
You gotta behave, be quiet or be gone

If I sit and wait for your return
There'll be no candles left to burn
'm gonna put my foot where it belongs
You gotta behave, be quiet or be gone
Change the way you been carryin' on
Or you'll wake up and find yourself alone
I listened to your talk a-way too long
You gotta behave, be quiet or be gone

Once your every wish was my command
But now your wishing well is full of sand
I'm never right, you're never wrong
You gotta behave, be quiet or be gone
Change the way you been carryin' on
Or you'll wake up and find yourself alone
I listened to your talk a-way too long
You gotta behave, be quiet or be gone
