Lyrics

You didn't have to be so nice

I would have liked you anyway

If you had just looked once or twice

And gone upon your quiet way

Today said the time was right for me to follow you

I knew I'd find you in a day or two

And it's true

You came upon a quiet day

You simply seemed to take your place

I knew that it would be that way

The minute that I saw your face

And when we've had a few more days

I wonder if I'll get to say

You didn't have to be so nice

I would have liked you anyway

Today said the time was right for me to follow you

I knew I'd find you in a day or two

And it's true

You didn't have to be so nice

I would have liked you anyway

If you had just looked once or twice

And gone upon your quiet way

I love this song but why the Marilyn Monroe connection? She had already been dead several years before this song came out... Anyhow, thanks for posting, wearyoldman! GREAT song! :-) Blessings, John

Ill always remember hiring the spoonful for our festival on the lake in Kenosha Wi and going out with them the night before the show. At 2am Jerry was still playing the jukebox and Joe said to him-What are you doing? Jerry turned to us and said-I'm playing all the songs I wrote. How amazing was that!!!!!!! It was an honor being amoung Hall of Famers

I didn't notice this before: Joe Butler's drumming is almost martial.

It's hard to remember how much their music affected us. So many upbeat positive tunes with humorous lyrics that painted pictures of sunny summer days laying around with a drink, letting our daily worries wash away. This "Tube" triggers the thought that I should buy the hard copy of the "Best Of " before it all goes to streaming only.
