(John Phillips and Michelle Gilliam) 

A bit of free advice (vice)--- 

We抣l tell it to you now (nice, twice).

If you抳e got some habits

Some people won抰 allow (won抰 allow, allow)...

Be cool; be clean 

If you know what I mean.



We抳e all got our ups (ups, ups) ;

We抳e all got our downs (we抳e all got our downs).

Some of us are careless

And leave æ…¹m layin?around (layin?round, around) 

Be neat, discreet,

And keep your ear to the ground. 

Everyone has had a loved one who抯 far, far away. 

And if you don抰 want to take that trip someday...

(Think twice)

Be cool (be cool);

Be clean (be clean) 

If you know what I mean.

And if you don抰 wanna take that trip someday---

A bit of free advice (vice, vice)
