You better take your watch off When around large machinery You better hide your wallet If you plan to sleep with theives Don't forget your bullet-proof vest The next time you pick a fight with a guard And if you work with unstable objects Wear a hat that's hard CHORUS It's simple tips like these That keep you safe from injuries The surgeon general should do his part: Warning, beware, be careful - Fragile Heart Take out your contact lenses If you drive through a dust storm Look both ways before crossing The freeway of any legal form Take off your antique jewelry The next time you jump into a chlorinated pool And don't forget, build a fence around your heart The next time you give it to a fool CHORUS Take your socks off the heater, man You know they're gonna get burned Don't lend out your favourite pair of pliers Unless you're sure they'll get returned You would not give a shiny medal To someone who don't work for it So do not give of yourself To one who won't adore it CHORUS
