Too Close For Comfort
Composer(s): Jerry Bock - Larry Holofcener - George David Weiss
Performer(s): Mel Tormé



Be wise, be fair, be sure, be there, behave, beware

Be wise, be smart, behave my heart 
Don’t upset your cart when she’s so close 

Be soft, be sweet, but be discreet
Don’t go off your feet
She’s too close for comfort
Too close, too close for comfort, no, not again
Too close, too close to know just when to say when 

Be firm and be fair, be sure, beware
On your guard, take care
When there’s such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She’s much too close for comfort…

Doo-ba-um-doody-doo-ba, doo-doo-doo...

Be wise, be fair, be sure, beware

Put on your old thinking cap, boy
‘Cause if you don’t look out, you
Will find that you are much too
Too close for comfort

Go ahead, and for a mishap, boy
The first thing that you know she
Will have you up that old tree
She’s too close for comfort

Too close, too close, ah, too close

Ba-doo-da...

Be firm and be fair, be absolutely sure, beware
On your guard, take care
When there is such temptation
One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She’s much too close for comfort now

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for cover
She’s much too close for comfort now

One thing leads to another
Too late to run for mother
She’s much too close for comfort now

Be wise, be fair, be sure, be there, behave, beware
She’s too close, too close, for comfort now
