I Love a Piano (From "Stop! Look! Listen!") - Wyn Davies, Ирвинг Берлин

Love will make a fool of any man, it has been said

No one can advise him, for his heart will rule his head

He names the wedding day, just throws himself away

Before the wedding all his friends will come to him and say

Stop!

Look!

Listen to a friend’s advice

Better look before you leap

Or you’ll be in water deep

For God’s sake don’t get married, don’t give up your name

Then he’ll stop, look, listen to his friend’s advice

But he’ll go out and marry just the same

Mister Brown, a widower, was handing out advice

To his son who fell in love with someone very nice

He whispered to the lad, «To marry would be bad

I know just what I’m saying, take a tip from your old Dad

Stop!

Look!

Listen to a Dad’s advice

She’s a nice girl, that is true

But she’ll never do for you

So tie a can to Cupid, lay him on the shelf"

Then he stopped, looked, listened to his Dad’s advice

While his Dad went out and married her himself

There’s a railroad on Long Island not so far away

Accidents occur there almost ev’ry other day

The man who owns the line has said, «The fault’s not mine

Because at ev’ry railroad crossing you will find this sign

Stop!

Look!

Listen!

Always safety first"

If there were no such display

You would pass along your way

But they insist you linger by the railroad track

So you stop, look, listen, then you hear a crash

And the next day your fam’ly’s dressed in black

But they want you to linger by the railroad track
