by Jerome Kern

“ I've a very charming dwelling, You know where without the telling, Decorated in a style that's rather quaint, Smart and quaint, When you pay my house a visit, You may scutinize or quizit, But, you must not touch the paint, Brand new paint. [Refrain]
Mind the paint, Be careful, Mind the paint. Fingerprints will always show however faint. Once you smear it, or you scratch it, It's impossible to match it, Take care Do be careful! ”
