Ask Me Nice - Mose Allison

I just got here day for yesterday

It won't be long and 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 intent to cause a fuss

You like my style that's fine with me

And If you don't just let me be

Now 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

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

I'm just trying to swing my life in my way

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
