Take Her In Your Arms Have you seen him on the corner?  His lip would reach the pavement. He’s been hiding from his razor, is he not an awful sight? In love he was the purist, now he’s frightening our tourists. If he’d only asked his father, I’m sure he’d set him right. CHORUS: Sayin', “Take her in your arms and tell her that you love her. Take her in your arms and hold that woman tight. Won’t you take her in your arms and tell her that you love her. If you’re going to love a woman then be sure you do it right.” Well, he met her at some tavern, which was dark as any cavern, And it all would have been different if he'd seen her in daylight. She was painted, she was scented, but she drove your man demented. If he’d gone and asked his father, I’m sure he’d set him right. CHORUS Now, depression’s not a million laughs, but suicide’s too dangerous. Don’t go leapin’ out of buildings in the middle of the night. It’s not the fall but landin’ that’ll alter social standin’. So go first and ask your father, and I’m sure he’ll set you right. CHORUS: Here’s a health to all true lovers, their sisters and their brothers, Their uncles and their grannies, for this thing is black and white. If you’re keen to start romancin’, with its leapin’ and its dancin’, Go first and ask your father and I’m sure he’ll set you right. CHORUS x 2
