KEEP AWAY. Copyright, 1891, by Francis, Day & Hunter. Written by W. T. Lytton. Composed by Geo. Le Brunn. 
Good advice I'm just about to give you-Something that may save you much distress; Ere my song is done you will confess That what I say is all serene. Suppose a little bill you owe your tailor. He's the last man you would wish to meet. Should you spot him coming down the street Then act upon this plan: 
Chorus. Keep away, keep away! take my tip, 'tis the best thing you can do! Keep away, keep away! for distance lends enchantment to the view! 
If you court a lovely little maiden, Who has hopes or coming into "oof," But if underneath her father's roof That parent says you're not to go; You feel so sad you really can't resist it, Ev'ry night as usual there you jog, But when daddy buys a savage dog To ornament the step-Chorus. 
When you go off on the "tiddly-hi-ti," As you naughty husbands often do, Rolling home just as it's striking two, To find your dear wife sitting up. And with her ma-in-law upon the door-step, Anxious to give you a taste of "jaw," Fingers itching at your face to claw, If you'd enjoy the scene- Chorus. 
Next, suppose you do a little flirting (Which is scarce the proper thing to do), And your little wifie comes in view"Alike all over "then you feel; But if, instead of going for your whiskers, She makes for the damsel by your side, Don't attempt the ladies to divide, But let them fight it out.-Chorus.
