Keep My Baby While I’m Away

Lyrics:

Take her to church functions
And the women’s club luncheon
Develop her natural talent for macrame

Make her memorize the stars
But don’t lend her the car
And keep my baby out the bars while I’m away

Keep my baby company
And keep my baby lonely
And keep my baby warm, yeah

Keep my baby warm
And keep my baby tired
And keep my baby warm, yeah

The California days and the California nights
And the car went on through the night
The soul I’m gone but the days go on
And the (?) feel alright

Keep my baby company
And keep my baby lonely
And keep my baby warm, yeah

Take her to church functions
And the women’s club luncheon
Develop her natural talent for macrame

Make her memorize the stars
Don’t lend her the car
And keep my baby out the bars while I’m away
