BY HENDERSON, DESYLVA, AND BROWN

BUTTON UP YOUR OVERCOAT,

WHEN THE WIND IS FREE,

TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF,

YOU BELONG TO ME!

EAT AN APPLE EVERY DAY,

GET TO BED BY THREE,

TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF,

YOU BELONG TO ME!

BE CAREFUL CROSSING STREETS, OOH-OOH,

LAY OFF MEATS, OOH-OOH,

CUT OUT SWEETS, OOH-OOH,

YOU'LL GET A PAIN AND RUIN YOUR TUM-TUM!

KEEP AWAY FROM BOOTLEG HOOCH

WHEN YOU'RE ON A SPREE,

TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOURSELF,

YOU BELONG TO ME!

RAIN DELAY: SUNDAY MEMORIES WILL BE LATE

Due to the most profound memorial for Florence Deutsch Moed, the Sunday Memories installment will be late.

Warm thanks to the incredible people who braved ice, cold, wind and weekend schedules of the MTA to be there at Henry. Your loving, warm and joyous presence truly celebrated our mother.
