You can never be too careful,

that's what I always say,

and so I wear a hat, or two,

in case my hair turns gray.

I've thirteen tires on my car,

in case I get a flat.

I wear my pants size fifty-three,

in case I grow too fat.

You can never be too careful,

I'm sure you'll find it's true.

I see the doctor every day,

in case I catch the flu.

I carry twenty handkerchiefs,

in case I have to sneeze,

and forty seven bandages,

in case I skin my knees.

You can never be too careful,

so if I take a walk,

I tiptoe everywhere I go

and whisper when I talk.

I hide my money in a box,

and lock it up inside Fort Knox.

My house is made of bricks and rocks.

The front door has a hundred locks.

But now I have a problem, see,

I'm locked inside without the key.

I've lost it and I can't get free.

I hid it much too carefully!
