If I Ask You Nicely

No perforation

In your thick skin

She's for leaving,

You're for fixin'

Party's over

Even in the kitchen

Take the taste away

You were winning

Till they changed ends

Said the drinker

To the bartend

No reputation left to defend

Broken hearts and bones

Talkin' on the telephone sayin'

Hey la la, hey la la

Hey would you,

Hey la la, hey la la

Hey could you

Hey la la, hey la la

If I ask you nicely, would you try

In the ship's hold

You were patient

For the verdict

Of the nation

Telephone vote, watch the animation

What will they say

Whose tune will they play, singin'

Hey la la, hey la la

Hey would you,

Hey la la, hey la la

Hey could you

Hey la la, hey la la

If I ask you nicely, would you try

Into the skew

No matter what we do

One day we might find

We've got left behind

You can run

And baby, you can hide

But one day you will find

That you've got left behind

You've got left behind

Hey la la, hey la la

Hey would you,

Hey la la, hey la la

Hey could you

Hey la la, hey la la

If I ask you nicely, would you try

Hey la la, hey la la
