A Nice Thing To Do

He tapped you on the shoulder of your shiny Italian suit And you looked at him like he was made of mud He paid you a compliment and then you brushed him off of you And he stood there, studying the ballroom rug You should be careful who you treat like that at a party What if your castle ever crumbles under you? You never know, someday he might be somebody And if not it's still not a nice thing to do More power to you and that watch you've got on your wrist Pinky up on your gin martini You're the kind of guy that needs a pseudonym on hotel guest lists And maybe to you being rude don't seem too unseemly, but You should be careful who you treat like that at a party What if your castle ever crumbles under you? You never know, someday they might be somebody And if not it's still not a nice thing to do And you wouldn't remember but we've met before Good to see you, thanks for leaving my name at the door The last time that we talked you made me feel as small as, well That guy over there messing with his lapel You should be careful who you treat like that at a party What if your castle ever crumbles under you? You never know, someday they might be somebody And if not it's still not a nice thing to do
