Ask Me Nice Songtext
von Mose Allison

I just got here, day ′fore yesterday
It won't be long now I′ll be on my way
These few days that I'll be round
Please don't try to bring me down

I made my entrance on the Greyhound bus
I don′t intend to cause a fuss
′F you like my style, that's fine with me
Then if you don′t, just let me be


I don't claim to be so great
I′m no pace setter, no potentate
I've got some kids, I′ve got a wife
I'm just tryin' to swing my way through life

So don′t try t′ make me what I'm not
I just get by with what I′ve got
Live, let live, that's my advice
If you′ve got questions, ask me nice

I'm not the first, I′m not the most
Of this town I am not the toast
I'm gettin' older every day
I′m just tryin′ to swing a little in my way


So don't try t′ make me what I'm not
I just get by with what I′ve got
Live, let live, that's my advice
If you′ve got questions, ask me nice
