Ask Me Nice

Ask Me Nice - Mose Allison

Written by：Mose Allison

I just got here day for yesterday

It won't be long and I'll be on my way

So why I'm hang round

Don't take the trouble to bring me down

I made my entrance on the greyhound bus

I don't intent to cause a fuss

If you came some fine with me

Please just let me be

I don't claim to be so great

I'm no pacesetter I'm no potentate

I got some kids I got a wife

I'm just trying to swing my way through life

So don't try to make me what I'm not

I just get by with what I've got

Live let live that's my advice

If you got questions ask me nice

I'm not the first I'm not the most

And of this town I am not the toast

I'm getting older every day

The day at the town that's what I say

So don't try to make me what I'm not

I just get by with what I've got

Live let live that's my advice

If you got questions ask me nice
