Take Care
Georgie Auld And His Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Life is simple as ABC
Not a thought in my head
Not a care in the world
Though skies are gray, I'm as gay as a Disney cow
Not a wrinkle upon my brow
Not a thought in my head
I view this scene like the old queen of Russia
Like Kate the Great used to state long ago, "Merci beaux"
So if I move in the groove with a giddy trot
I'm just trottin' because I've got
Not a bean in my pot
Not a care in the world
These lyrics are from the song called "Take Care" by Georgie Auld And His Orchestra. The song talks about how the singer feels happy and content when the person they care about smiles at them, even though things in life may not be perfect. The singer uses the metaphor of the simplicity of the alphabet to describe how easy and carefree everything feels when this person is around. They mention that they are "aglow" and "gay as a Disney cow" which reflects the happy feeling they experience. The second verse continues with the imagery of a clear and bright mood. The singer says that they have "not a thought in my head" or a "wrinkle upon my brow". They describe their happiness and relative lack of worries as a feeling of being a queen, like Catherine the Great of Russia. The lyrics suggest that the happiness they feel is due to the love they share with the person they sing about.
