Control Yourself (with The André Previn Trio)

Lyrics for Control Yourself (with The André Previn Trio)

Control yourself, contain yourself Restrict yourself, restrain yourself And always let tranquility be your goal Control yourself, contain yourself And if you can't, explain yourself And try to act agreeably on the whole Life is far too short to spend it in a huff Try to be the sort of guy who laughs When things get rough Control yourself, contain yourself You can and still remain yourself If you will let serenity in your soul You must contain yourself Restrain yourself And train yourself, to gain yourself control Control yourself, contain yourself Restrict yourself, restrain yourself And always let tranquility be your goal Control yourself, contain yourself And if you can't, refrain yourself And try to act agreeably on the whole Life is just too great to waste it being sad Try to imitate the guy who grins When things walk back Control yourself, contain yourself And soon you won't, complain yourself If you will let serenity in your soul You must contain yourself Restrain yourself And train yourself to gain yourself control
