and #61 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 in 1973. The song was also released in the United Kingdom as a single, but it did not chart. The song was featured on their 1973 album, '' Artificial Paradise''. The song has a calypso-influenced melody. Lyrically, the song tells listeners to keep tabs on their daughters and to "keep her out of mischief".
