originally sung by male, same tabs:

Listen girlfriend.  You've knocked me off myfeet.
I think you're very sweet.  Making such a fuss about me.
Listen girlfriend.  Not that I'm fond of you.
I'm afraid I'm gonna worry to:
Button up your over coat when the wind is free
Take good care of yourself, you belong to me.
Wear your flannel underwear, when you climb a tree.
Take good care of yourself, you belong to me.
Don't sit on a hornet's tail.  ooh ooh.
Or on nails.  ooh ooh.
You'll get a pain an ruin your tum tum.
Don't go out with college boys when your on a spree.
Take good care of your self, you belong to me.
