Keep Your Fingers Crossed 1935

You're just like a baby
and I don't know
what you'd do,
if you didn't have some one
just to watch over you.
If I couldn't be around
and you were far away.
I'd keep writing or 'phoning
ev'ry hour of the day.

Keep your fingers crossed
don't forget to keep your fingers crossed
'cause you know, my baby,
I'd be lost
if anything happened to you.
Watch out day and night
get up ev'ry morning on the right.
Three upon a match you mustn't light
or something might happen to you,
when you're passing a load of hay
always make a wish
and turn your head away.
Under ladders never stroll
wear a four leaf clover in your buttonhole
and keep your fingers crossed
don't forget to keep your fingers crossed
'cause you know, my baby,
I'd be lost.
Where would I go
and what would I do
if anything happened to you.

Keep your fingers crossed
don't forget to keep your fingers crossed
'cause you know, my baby,
I'd be lost
if anything happened to you.
Watch out day and night
get up ev'ry morning on the right.
Three upon a match you mustn't light
or something might happen to you,
Never whistle "Love in Bloom"
if you're sitting in
the actor's dressing room,
Under ladders never stroll
wear a four leaf clover in your buttonhole
and keep your fingers crossed
don't forget to keep your fingers crossed
'cause you know, my baby,
I'd be lost.
Where would I go
and what would I do
if anything happened to you.
