Ask Me Nice - Mose Allison

I just got here early 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

If you don’t just let me be

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

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 do it baby 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
