When I was young
Daddy told me
You'll be a man in a while
Here's some advice
Listen closely
Take warning when your
Trouble wears a smile
He said now boy
I'm not joking
Women charm you with their style
And when they leave
Your heart broken
You'll know why I said
Trouble wears a smile
Trouble abounds
What a pity
With it comes many a trial
Worst trouble found
Is quite pretty
Take warning when your
Trouble wears a smile
Said son, out there
You'll find all kinds
Take care sorting through the pile
Or you'll wind up
With the wrong kind
A double dose of
Trouble with a smile
So, lad do well
To consider
While you're still a juvenile
Some fruit is sweet
Some is bitter
And brother sometimes
Trouble wears a smile
Trouble abounds
What a pity
With it comes many a trial
Worst trouble found
Is quite pretty
Take warning when your
Trouble wears a smile
Take warning when your
Trouble wears a smile
