Ask Me Nice

I just got here day before yesterday

It won’t be long, I’ll be on my way

These few days, that I’m around

Please don’t try to bring me down

I made my entrance on the greyhound bus

I don’t intend to make a fuss

If you like my style that’s fine with me

If you don’t just let me be

Now 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

Well, I’m not the first and I’m not the most

And of this town, I am not the toast

I got some kids and I got a wife

I’m just trying to swing my way through life

Now 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 don’t claim to be so great

Well I’m no pacesetter, I’m no potentate

I’m getting older, every day

I’m just trying to do things in my way

Now 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
