Good Company

Brian May

3:26

Take good care of what you've got, my father said to me

As he puffed his pipe and Baby B., he dandled on his knee

Don't fool with fools who'll turn away

Keep all Good Company

Oo Hoo Oo Hoo

Take care of those you call your own

And keep good company

Soon I grew and happy too

My very good friends and me

We'd play all day with Sally J

The girl from number 4

And very soon I begged her won't you

Keep me company

Oo Hoo Oo Hoo (twice)

Come marry me for evermore we'll be good company

Now marriage is an institution sure

My wife and I our needs and nothing more

All my friends by a year

By and by disappeared

But we're safe enough behind our door

I flourished in my humble trade

My reputation grew

The work devoured my waking hours

But when my time was through

Reward of all my efforts my own limited company

I hardly noticed Sally as we parted company

All through the years in the end it appears

There was never really anyone but me

Now I'm old I puff my pipe

But no one's there to see

I ponder on the lesson of my life's insanity

Take care of those you call your own

And keep good company
