Intro: Follow pattern of Chorus
(A) Now love it (E) is a (A) very funny (D) thing
It (A) catches the (E) young and the (A) old
It's just like a (E) plate of (A) boardinghouse (D) hash
To (A) many a (E) man it‘s (A) sold
Makes you feel like a (D) fresh water eel
And (A) causes your head to (E) swell
You'll (A) lose your (E) sight for (A) love is (D) blind
And (A) empty your (E) pocket book as (A) well
Chorus
(A) Boys, keep away from the (D) girls, I said

With the (A) bald headed (E) end of a (A) broom
Instrumental: Follow pattern of Chorus
(A) When a boy goes a-(E)-round with a (A) pretty little (D) gal
They (A) talk as (E) gentle as a (A) dove
He (A) calls his (E) honey and he (A) spends his (D) money
To (A) prove he’s (E) solid in (A) love
When his money’s gone and his (D) clothes in hock
And he (A) has no bread to (E) chaw
He’ll (A) call some-(E)-one to (A) load up his (D) gun
And (A) vaccinate his (E) mother-in-(D)-law
Repeat Chorus

(A) Now all young (E) men take (A) my ad-(D)-vice
Don’t (A) be in a (E) hurry for to (A) wed
You think in (E) clover then your (A) honeymoons (D) over
And (A) then you wish (E) you was (A) dead
With a cross-eyed baby (D) on each knee

You’ll (A) find that (E) love doesn’t (A) run very (D) far
When you (A) have to wear (E) second hand (A) clothes
Repeat Chorus
Instrumental: Follow pattern of Chorus
(A) When married (E) folks have (A) lots of (D) cash
The (A) love runs (E) smooth and (A) strong
But when they (E) have to (A) feed on (D) hash
The (A) love don't (E) last very (A) long
With a wife and seventeen (D) half starved kids
I'll (A) tell you it is no (E) fun
When the (A) butcher comes a-(E)-round with a (A) bill to col-(D)-lect
With a (A) dog and a (E) double barreled (A) gun
