Mind The Paint 1912 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 scrutinize or quiz it,
but, you must not touch the paint,
brand new paint.

Mind the paint, be careful,
mind the paint.
Finger prints will always show
how ever faint.
Once you smear it,
or you scratch it,
It's impossible to match it,
take care, do be careful!
Mind the paint!

Mind the paint, be careful,
mind the paint.
Finger prints will always show
how ever faint.
Once you smear it,
or you scratch it,
It's impossible to match it,
take care, do be careful!
Mind the paint!

I'm possessed of all the graces,
oh, a perfect dream my face is!
It may owe to art a trifle
or it mayn't,
or it mayn't.
And I'll cry out for assistance
should you fail to keep your distance,
Goodness gracious,
mind the paint, mind the paint!

Mind the paint, be careful,
mind the paint.
Finger prints will always show
how ever faint.
Once you smear it,
or you scratch it,
It's impossible to match it,
take care, do be careful!
Mind the paint!

Mind the paint, be careful,
mind the paint.
Finger prints will always show
how ever faint.
Once you smear it,
or you scratch it,
It's impossible to match it,
take care, do be careful!
Mind the paint!
