Watch Your Step Lyrics
Don't say a word
Don't say anything
Don't say a word
I'm not even listening
I read in the paper about their escape
They're just two bitter kids with a bunch of sour grapes
You better watch your step
Watch who's knocking on your front door
Now you know that they're watching
What are you waiting for
Think you're young and original
Get out before...
They get to watch your step
Every day is full of fun
And family spice
They're making heroes out of fall guys
They say it's good for business
From Singapore to witness
You better watch your step
Broken noses hung up on the wall
Back slapping drinkers cheer the heavy weight brawl
So punch drunk they don't understand at all
You better watch your step
Every night
Go out full of carna-al desires
End up in the closing time choirs
When you're kicking in the cot room
And you're drinking down the eau de cologne
And you're spitting out the kodachrome
You better watch your step
Bye
I send you all my regards
You're so tough
You're so hard
Listen to the hammers falling in the breaker's yard
You better watch your step
You better watch your step
Ooh, watch your step
Don't say anything
Don't say a word
I'm not even listening
I read in the paper about their escape
They're just two bitter kids with a bunch of sour grapes
You better watch your step
Now you know that they're watching
What are you waiting for
Think you're young and original
Get out before...
They get to watch your step
And family spice
They're making heroes out of fall guys
They say it's good for business
From Singapore to witness
You better watch your step
Back slapping drinkers cheer the heavy weight brawl
So punch drunk they don't understand at all
You better watch your step
Go out full of carna-al desires
End up in the closing time choirs
And you're drinking down the eau de cologne
And you're spitting out the kodachrome
You better watch your step
I send you all my regards
You're so tough
You're so hard
Listen to the hammers falling in the breaker's yard
You better watch your step
You better watch your step
Ooh, watch your step

It should be "Singapore to Widnes" (not "witness"). Widnes is a small town just outside Liverpool. Paul Simon wrote "Homeward Bound" whilst at Widnes train station.
Funny, I always heard it as . . .heros out of four guys who said it's good for business from Sinapore to Widness
I always thought it was a reference to the Beatles, and how the came out of (essentially) nowhere to take over the world (and make a ton of money, for someone).
First verse error: Should be "they PICKED two bitter kids from a bunch of sour grapes"
Third verse error: It's "family SPIES" not family spice
@matthk so many errors! Also “carnal desires” should be “carnival desires” and “cot room” should be “car chrome”. Costello was quite the wordsmith!
