Nice Girl

Ed Rashed


If you tried for love you'd try to be more fussy 
Not settle for a hussy or a hound 
But you're all alone, out in the seamy city 
You can buy your pretty by the pound 
So to ease your lust, you're wasting all this money 
And when the deed is done your honey's gone 
But you could just stop and try for something new, man: 
Lasting love that you can count upon! 
Don't you wish you had a Nice Girl, one who'd love to please you 
Nice Girl, one who'd never tease you 
Nice Girl, always there to ease your pain 
They all say you need a Nice Girl, who'll make a decent mother 
Nice Girl, forget about the others 
When you have your druthers you'll remain in the arms of your 
nicely dressed, cultured, and lovely Nice Girl 

Have you had your fill of independent will yet? 
Stop this game of Roulette, find a wife! 
Just remember all the good things Mama told you 
Why she tried to mold you all your life 
When your Nice Girl smiles and listens when you're talking 
Won't you feel like you're King of the World 
Always pleasant, attentive, to obey is her incentive 
You will not lament of your Nice Girl! 

Don't you wish you had a Nice Girl, one who'd love to please you 
Nice Girl, one who'd never tease you 
Nice Girl, always there to ease your pain 
They all say you need a Nice Girl, who'll make a decent mother 
Nice Girl, forget about the others 
When you have your druthers you'll remain in the arms of your 
nicely dressed, cultured, and lovely Nice Girl 

When's the last time you saw a pretty ribbon 
tied up in a pretty little bow? 
When's the last time you could hear an angel singing 
From an open kitchen window? 
It's the Nice Girl who will make the best of lovers 
At the proper place and proper time 
And through thick and thin she will be yours forever 
and she'll never ever cost a dime! 

Don't you wish you had a Nice Girl, one who'd love to please you 
Nice Girl, one who'd never tease you 
Nice Girl, always there to ease your pain 
They all say you need a Nice Girl, a stay-at-home mother 
Nice Girl, forget about the others 
When you have your druthers you'll remain in the arms of your 
nicely dressed, cultured and well mannered, neat, clean, 
pious and plump and lovely Nice Girl! 
Nice Girl!
