Malvina Reynolds - Signature Blues Lyrics

If you see a dotted line, Baby, don't sign,
If you see a dotted line, Baby, don't sign.
Somebody's out to get your blood,
Somebody's out to do you no good,
Take my word, little baby mine, don't sign.

Instruct your hand that you're in command, don't sign,
Instruct your hand that you're in command, don't sign.
Well, I signed once, and for all my tears
That writing stands for a thousand years,
And all my pay just disappears, don't sign.

There was a voice that sweet-talked in my ear,
There was a voice that promised egg in my beer,
Someone told me he was my friend,
Till once I signed and that was the end,
And that's a thing you cannot mend, don't sign.

Read the fine print, it's all a gobbledygook,
Read the fine print, it's all a gobbledygook.
Can't make it out, however you look,
But you'll know what it means when you've been took,
Lay by the pen till I don't know when, don't sign.

If you see a dotted line, Baby, don't sign,
If you see a dotted line, Baby, don't sign.
Somebody's out to get your blood,
Somebody's out to do you no good,
Take my word, little baby mine, don't sign.
